Address of the Grand Master 7b the Grand Lodge, A..E & AM., of MiBBOUri DEAR BRETHREN:
Let me preface my remarks with an apology for being unable to acqui t my responsibilities to the fullest measure since early in the year. An automobile accident on April 10 effectively took me out of circulation for the better part of three months, and forced a change in many plans. To all of you who remembered me in your prayers, I am eternally grateful.
OPENING REMARKS During our deliberations today and tomorrow -- and in years to come -our Fraternity will largely be dealing with the future. What we do here and now will impact directly upon Freemasonry in Missouri for the balance of this century and well into the next. We are being challenged to change... and change comes slowly and softly in our gentle Craft. The unforgiving passage of time no longer affords us the luxury of seeking refuge in the past. Brethren, you are going to be asked to change some of the ways in which Free Masonry operates. Change is a repugnant idea to Freemasons because they are taught early on -- and it is part of our installation charge to a Worshipful Master -- not to countenance "innovations" in our ritual, ceremony and modus operandi. We are taught -- and I quote -- that "it is not in the power of any man or body of men to make innovations in the body of Masonry". That is the premise we are taught and that is how we go about our business. The problem with that admonition -- that it is not in the power of any man or body of men to make innovations in the body of Masonry -- is that it was taken from a sentence that was a resolution in the 1738 Constitutions...one of those documents revered by Masons as "Landmarks" and "Ancient Regulations". The phrase in our ceremony takes on quite a different meaning when considered within the context of the entire sentence from which it originated. Let me read to you that resolution in its entirety: "On 24 June 1723, at the Feast, the Grand Lodge before dinner made this Resolution, that it is not in the power of any man or body of men to make any alteration in the body of Masonry, without the consent first obtained of the Grand Lodge." Let me repeat the last part of that sentence: ''Without the consent first obtained of the Grand Lodge." Our Masonic forefathers did not forbid change in the body of Masonry. They did not bind us eternally to concepts which might become outdated and antiquated. As a matter of fact, their wisdom provided the very mechanism whereby change, or alteration, or innovation, whatever you want to call it, can occur...with "the consent first obtained of the Grand Lodge." This gathering IS the Grand Lodge, and it has the full authority to consent to alterations and innovations -- to change, if you will. Do not be bound by the idea that we cannot make any alteration in the body of Masonry. We most certainly can, as prescribed in what is referred to as ancient regulations, specifically the 1738 Constitutions! We CAN change, Eili consent fiut obtained gf ~ Gmwl~. Remember that as we pro10

ceed with our deliberations today and tomorrow. My Brethren, YOU are the Grand Lodge...and change is within your grasp. You can, with the full blessing of our ancient forebearers, make alterations in the body of Masonry!
STATE OF TIlE CRAFT "These are the times that try men's souls", wrote Revolutionary War patriot Thomas Paine in December 1776. "The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country." We in the Masonic Fraternity might well paraphrase his ringing words: "These are the times that try Freemason's souls. The memberafraid-of-change will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of Freemasonry." As a newspaperman, I have never shied away from the facts and the truth. And I realize that as the Masonic messenger, I may be blamed for the message. Then so be it. What you will read here are the facts as they have been presented, and the truth as I understand it. During my travels as your Grand Master, I have detected among the brethren an undiminished instinct for the facts and the truth. Beyond the limited realm of those who oppose change at any cost, there is a general consensus that the Fraternity must either adapt to the demands and realities of the 21st Century or perish. As I pointed out in the Summer 1990 Freemason Magazine article "Freemasonry and the Age Bomb", the facts gleaned from a two-year study and report to the Conference of Grand Masters of North America can be condensed to this: We are a fraternal dinosaur, condemned to extinction because we lack the ability to change; we embrace 17th Century ideas as we approach the 21st Century; left to our own devices, we will be reduced to half our present number by the tum of the century and half again by 2010. Here in Missouri, in the span of 30 years, we have dropped from some 120,000 members to around 72,000. By the end of this century, if the tide is not turned, we will be reduced to around 35,000 members. During the past half-dozen years, our annual net membership decline has been around 3,000 members. And that will increase, given the statistical fact that 90 percent of our members are over the age of 40. A full 26 percent are over the age of 71! Last year we raised fewer men to the Master Mason Degree than at any time in this century. And the old excuse that "we would rather have quality than quantity" simply doesn't wash. As our membership rolls decrease, our financial ability to maintain our Masonic Home, our Masonic temples, our charities and our magnificent edifices likewise decreases. We will not be able to afford Freemasonry as we know it. And as dues must eventually and certainly increase as our numbers decrease, the ability to belong to appendant bodies will drastically diminish. Our stepping stones to more light will instead become stumbling blocks. Already we are preaching to the choir. Last year, over 90 percent of our lodges reported average attendance from fewer than 10 to no roore than 15. Who will hear our ritual and who will learn our lessons ofmorality when the seats are vacant? Square corners and dotted "i's" are mean-

ingless to an empty room. Many lodges simply cannot open a meeting because not enough officers are in attendance. This, my brethren, is a crisis, a full-blown crisis. This is the State of the Craft in Missouri. The Grand Masters Conference report noted emphatically that if we expect more than five hours a month from a member or a potential member, we will lose him. Here is a quote from an Entered Apprentice who dropped out: "Too many demands on my time to do justice to full time membership." And that reply to a questionnaire from our Grand Secretary represents the general feeling of the one-in-three petitioners who enter our portals for the Entered Apprentice Degree and then never return. And it is certainly one of the factors-together with apathy, boredom, too much memorization and not enough family involvement, among others-that keeps over 90 percent of our membership away from Lodge meetings and meaningful participation in the Fraternity. How do we confront these challenges? Here are a few suggestions that I have received from among hundreds offered by our brethren, and I quote: Eliminate all candidates' memory work but several clear, simple obligations...Eliminate curtain lectures: no one listens to them, including the candidate; I have given perhaps a hundred and no candidate remembers a word of them. Imagine a semi-literate brother explaining to an architect or engineer the functions of their profession. And these suggestions: Lodges represented should pay the per diem for delegates [to the Grand Lodge communicationl... Obligation penalties are so verbose and gruesome as to be facetious, thereby detracting from, rather than enhancing, the degrees...Masonry has to modernize to survive; too much muzzle-loader leadership in a guided missile world... Too much emphasis on degree work; one brother said he enjoyed Hamlet and Macbeth, but would not go to see them 10 times a year...Degree work should be done on nights allocated for that purpose only, with a social hour later to acquaint the new member with his brothers and our customs...Advocate a system of education that is aimed at mental freedom, rather than imprisoning the minds of our youth in inflexible dogmas that tend to warp their ability to evaluate impartial evidence...We must slay the dragons of ignorance and bigotry that guard the doors of knowledge and tolerance, and if a thousand old beliefs are destroyed in our journey to the truth, we must still march on. I would remind you that these suggestions are not mine; they are unsolicited responses from brethren who obviously are thinking about Freemasonry and who want it to survive. And, finally, from a brother who is "sick and tired of your harping on a problem constantly (Age Bomb) and doing nothing about it": Bring Masonry into the 19908 or else it will surely cease to exist in a relatively short time. Well, in response to the last comment, I cannot change things. The brethren can! And that is the reason for this message. I am only the messenger. I would be remiss in reporting on the State of the Craft in Missouri without citing a few observations from the paper "Masonic Leadership: It's 7ime to Set the Pace" delivered recently by John R. Graham to a
1990
GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI

Scottish Rite Workshop in Omaha, Nebraska. Brother Graham noted that Masons "are experts in putting the emphasis in all the wrong places. In other words, we do it backwards." Graham added that Masonry suffers from what he calls "The Mussolini Syndrome." Benito Mussolini's greatest achievement, he says, was making the trains run on time in Italy. "The nation was in total chaos, but the trains left the station on time-every time." Graham adds that Masons are experts at getting meeting notices out on time, at keeping accurate records, at making reports, at holding perfect ceremonies, at putting men on committees. ''The answer is clear", says Graham. "We don't want strong leaders! We don't want new ideas. We don't want interesting programs. We don't want excitement. We don't want the boat rocked." "We must stop worrying about how important we are," Graham says in conclusion, "and start thinking seriously about what it's going to take to save Freemasonry." So what is it going to take to "save" Freemasonry? RECOMMENDATIONS No one can presume to know what will "save" Freemasonry, or what can be done to confront all the challenges we face. But Brother Graham did have an interesting suggestion: "If you have a good idea, go ahead and do it because it is much easier to apologize than it is to ask permission." That is rather "subversive", as he acknowledges; but the implication is quite clear: it is time for us to dare to be different, to try the untried, to give change a chance. All the other remedies, potions and snake oils we have been using have not worked; whatever we are doing to "save" Freemasonry isn't working! The hour is late; the crisis is real. Perhaps it is time for ''Why not...?"! • Why not make selective solicitation work by developing guidelines for pre-investigation of a potential candidate, for a get-acquainted dinner, for Masonic education, for structured invitation? I recommend that the Public Relations Committee be charged with developing such a program and that it be adequately funded. • Why not change the tyranny of the single "black ball"-which increasingly is being used in an un-Masonic way-to three "black balls" for rejection? I recommend support by the leadership and the brethren of a by-law change that will require three black cubes for rejection. • Why not reduce our requirements for memorization of the ritual, even if for a trial period, to ascertain if this in fact is a barrier to membership? Does the talent for rote memorization actually guaran!-ee that a man will be a good member, a better Mason? We need to find out. I recommend that the leadership and the brethren support a by-law change to remove extraneous portions of the ritual from requirements for recitation at the examination in the three degrees. • Why not change the format of The Freemason Magazine to tabloid size? This is our main line of communication between Grand Lodge and the brethren, and readership is not widespread. It is largely inefficient and ineffective in its present form. A more attractive lay-out,
14
PROCEEDINGS OF THE
1990
with larger pages, room for larger pictures, more features and more news, should allow us to re-establish these lines of communication. Additionally, it is entirely possible that this change could be accomplished with no additional cost and perhaps at less cost. I recommend that the Masonic Education Committee take the necessary steps to publish The Freemason Magazine in tabloid fonnat. And I further recommend that an editorial board of individuals with appropriate expertise be assembled to assist the magazine's capable editor in dealing with the added responsibilities that will ensue. • Why not let the Masonic Education Committee get back to Masonic education? By necessity, perhaps, many irrelevant responsibilities have been placed on this committee and its effectiveness has been diluted. I recommend that the committee's mission be clearly defined, and I further recommend that the Achievement-Award program and the leadership training program be analyzed and evaluated as to relevancy and purpose. Though of noble intent and competent administration, they do not appear to have produced desired results. • Why not reduce the number of Grand Lodge committees? There are far too many to be manageable. Could Relief and Charity committee responsibilities, for example, be combined with the Boards of Relief committee? Could Ritual committee and Forms and Ceremonies committee responsibilities be combined? It is just a thought. I recommend a study of the possibilities. NOW FOR THE GOOD NEWS Despite the obvious membership challenges and financial problems looming on the horizon, there are a number of Missouri Lodges that have outstanding leaders and adequate finances. They are busy with candidates, perfonn the ritual well, have on-going charitable projects and engage families in Masonic social functions. But their successes are insufficient to impact upon the overall State of the Craft in Missouri. Interestingly, the lodges moving against the tide of apathy exhibit enthusiastic leadership, have well-defined program objectives, social functions and charity programs, and take pride in quality ritual work. They are the exception, unfortunately, and not the rule. The Speaker's Bureau, in its first year, has provided programs for some 50 lodges and is proving to be a valuable asset. I hope it will be continued. To assist in long range planning, I assembled the Missouri Masonic Renewal Task Force--composed of Grand Lodge officers and leaders of the Scottish Rite, York Rite and Shrine Temples in the state. The Task Force met twice during the year, and its members made many excellent suggestions on how membership challenges can be confronted. Some of those recommendations are contained in legislative proposals that will be placed in consideration for action in 1991. I am in full support of those recommendations. Charitable efforts, by the Grand Lodge and by Blue Lodges, provide a positive image for the Fraternity. The Disaster Relief Fund dis-

pensed $10,000 for hurricane victims in South Carolina and $10,000 for earthquake victims in California. Additionally, $5,000 aided tornado victims in Rogersville, Mo., and $2,000 was sent to tornado victims in California, Mo. A destitute brother and his wife received assistance, thanks to efforts of his lodge, neighboring lodges, and the Scottish Rite Foundation. Remarkably, lodges in the GIst Masonic District (St. Louis) participated in the Children's Miracle Network Telethon and raised over $28,000 for that fine charity. Throughout the state, numerous lodges sponsored charitable projects that raised money and items for needy people. In addition to caring for the less fortunate, these projects embellished the image of Freemasons everywhere. Unfortunately-due to restrictions on how the Disaster Relief Fund can be used-we could not help our brothers at Brookfield Lodge, where the roof of the Hall had collapsed. RECOMMENDATIONS
• I recommend support by the leadership and the brethren of a proposal-suggested by an ad hoc Chaplain's Committee assembled for that purpose-to change the guidelines for the Disaster Relief Fund so that some of these monies can be expended for Masonic relief, such as the lodge hall at Brookfield cited above. I further recommend that Masonic Lodges throughout Missouri participate in the statewide Children's Miracle Network 'Thlethon next year (1991). SHOULD A REQUIEM BECOME NECESSARY•••
While there is much within the Fraternity that is positive, the hope for renewal cannot overshadow stark realities. The "age bomb" WILL explode; we cannot stop what the Grand Architect will ordain. Our numbers WILL continue to shrink, perhaps drastically. New members can only cushion the impact... they cannot forestall some disagreeable but necessary precautions. In the event significant by-law and operational changes to facilitate membership renewal are not forthcoming in the next two years, I strongly suggest contingency long-range planning now-for that foreseeable day in the future-to: a) reduce the number of Masonic districts to 32, which should accommodate a jurisdiction with some 250 lodges and 35,000 members; b) replace the costly Grand Lecturer system with a caretaker structure consisting of four regional lecturers that are paid expenses but no salary; c) sell the Grand Lodge office building which is in a poor location and probably better suited to other uses anyway; d) reduce by half, through forced mergers, the number of lodges; e) reduce the function of committees that require large budget expenditures-such as Masonie Education and Public Relations-because their responsibilities will be substantially diminished; f) establish biennial communications of the Grand Lodge; and g) implement other cost-saving measures as may be deemed necessary and feasible by the Grand Lodge leadership.

Without gallant efforts to attract new members, we must be prepared to support and sustain-with enthusiasm and diligence, and with a sizeable dues structure-a Fraternity in Missouri of between 35,000 and 40,000 men by the turn of the century. Our net annual loss of 3,000-unless reversed-will not only continue but will increase measurably each year. In the decade between now and the 21st Century-unless we remove barriers to membership-we will be reduced by over 30,000 men. The crisis is NOW. Failure to confront these realities immediately with new ideas can only heighten the inevitability of eventual disaster.
AREA MEETINGS Eight area meetings were held in 1989-at Rolla, Springfield, Cape Girardeau, St. Louis, Maryville, Independence, Kirksville and Boonville-with 1,417 Masons attending. While there was some enthusiasm for the programs, I also detected a tinge of monotony among the brethren. I suspect the format and mission of area meetings needs to be changed. Like most everything else we do, they are becoming boring. An opinion poll-prepared by R.W. Deputy Grand Master Daniel F. Cole-was circulated and, interestingly, the results substantiate precisely what I have alluded to in previous paragraphs. The brethren were quite agreeable to spend money in search of solutions; but were adamantly opposed to changing anything. As a Fraternity, the poll indicated, we are completely satisfied with the way things are. And the way things are-inactive members and declining membership-is a recipe for catastrophe. Here are the questions and percentages of support and opposition: Should those lodges having difficulty obtaining officers, achieving a quorum, performing ritual, etc., be forced to consolidate if they are unwilling to do so voluntarily? YES-37 percent. N0-63 percent. Would you support a redistricting of Missouri's Masonic Districts, resulting in a reduction in the number of districts from around 60 to 40? YES-45 percent. N0-55 percent. Would you support legislation to permit the use of wine in a table lodge? YES--29 percent. N0-71 percent. Would you support legislation setting a maximum number of members per lodge, over which a lodge would be forced to split? YES--ll percent. N0-89 percent. Would you support a one-time special assessment per member of $1 for development of a Masonic Public Relations Program? YE~74 percent. N0-26 percent. Would you support a one-time special assessment per member of $1 for contribution to the National Masonic Foundation for Drug Abuse? YES-74 percent. NO-26 percent. These results exemplify the challenges we face in the Masonic Fraternity. The idea that we can save ourselves solely by spending money in search of a solution-much as the federal government does--without changing the way we operate, simply is a false, deceptive and self-destructive philosophy. Certainly, we need to expend funds in search of achievable results (and the public relations program specifically is a worthwhile ex-
1990

penditure of funds); but we must change our old ways to accommodate and make beneficent results happen! We cannot just buy change ... we must provide the environment in which it can happen. A farmer can purchase the very best seed available; but if the soil isn't fertile the crop won't grow.
MASONIC SERVICE MONTH Those lodges participating in Masonic Service Month in May -though few in number compared to the number of lodges in Missouri-demonstrated what Masons can do to improve their communities, and their images, by becoming involved. Many lodges have on-going charitable programs in their communities but did not submit entries. Lodges participating, in random order, were: Granby Lodge 1514, Palestine Lodge #241, Angerona Lodge #193, Jefferson Lodge #43, Carterville Lodge 1401, Mechanicsville Lodge #260, Lexington Lodge #149, United Lodge #5, Marceline Lodge #481, Washington Lodge #87, Grandview Lodge #618, Charleston Lodge #407, Farmington Lodge #132, Bonhomme Lodge #45, Circle Lodge #342, Country Club Lodge #656, Clinton Lodge #548, Rising Sun Lodge #13, Robert Burns Lodge #496, Butler Lodge #254, Adair Lodge #366, Bernie Lodge #573, Acacia Lodge 1602, and Saxton Lodge #508. The Grand Lodge Officers had a difficult time selecting the winner, which will be announced at the Grand Lodge session. My personal congratulations to those participating lodges. If we are to change how people view our Fraternity, this is an excellent way to do it.
APPENDANT BODIES During the year, I visited many organizations appendant to Freemasonry and the waves of apathy and membership decline that are washing up on Masonic shores likewise are affecting these organizations. The Rites, Shrine and Order of Eastern Star are variously experiencing financial difficulties which are an expected result of a diminished roll call. Despite this, the enthusiasm for change and growth necessarily is strong. The youth groups, particularly, exhibit the spark of enthusiasm. They have an eagerness which cannot be denied. Nonetheless, their future is in our hands. It is disturbing to ponder that 20 years ago, nationally, the Order of DeMolay had 2,500 chapters, 148,000 members and 22,000 advisors. 'Ibday, there are 1,000 chapters, 42,000 members and 8,000 advisors! Our self-indulged decline touches those outside the Fraternity. Perhaps the situation was best described by one of the adult leaders of a young ladies organization. "I have reached the conclusion that we not only need to promote our Order to the youth but to adults as well," she stated. "In the same line of thought, I feel that the Masons not only do not know enough about us, our Daughters do not know enough about the Masonic Fraternity." She suggested a program to explain our history, teachings and ritual to youth groups. "By making our Daughters more familiar with the Masonic Fraternity, perhaps they would be more inclined to en-
18

courage their future spouses to join," she added. Will we respond to these challenges? Can we?
DECISIONS On a request from Buckner Lodge regarding the receipt of funds donated to the lodge from a civic organization's regularly-scheduled poker tournament, I ruled that too much "linkage" existed between the source of the donated funds-a card game or "gambling"-and the Fraternity, and that such an arrangement would tend to impair the good name of the Order, cause scandal and degrade Freemasonry in the public estimation. Approval was granted on a request to hold a mock "Masonic Trial" at Benjamin Franklin Lodge, provided it was sufficiently explained that the trial was an imitation, that it was for instructional purposes only, that no names be involved, and no record maintained that might later be mi sinterpreted. In response to a request to use discretionary powers of the Grand Master to expedite reinstatement of a suspended brother, I ruled that Section 7.250 of the by-laws provided the only prescription for reinstatement, namely, referral to the Committee on Appeals and Grievances and favorable action by Grand Lodge. In regard to a request to restore two months and 18 days of membership that were stricken from a brother's record by the apparent action of the Grand Lodge in Michigan, I advised that the Grand Master of Missouri had no authority to accommodate the request because the error occurred outside this jurisdiction during the time of demit from a Michigan lodge to a Missouri lodge. Had a certificate of good standing been sent rather than a demit, the time-loss would have been prevented. I ruled that it was lawful, as per Section 25.080, for the Master of Country Club Lodge to distribute a membership list, or directory, to the lodge members, with the admonition that it not be used for any non-Masonic purpose. Good cause having been demonstrated that improprieties occurred during a ballot on a prospective member who was rejected, I ordered a reballot. However, the prospect withdrew his petition after the lone rebuke. Thus the lodge is unnamed since there was no resolution to the matter. I took no action on an inquiry regarding a plan by Bonhomme Lodge to turn title of its property to an individual in exchange for a 99year lease on a lodge hall which would be part of a building shared with a veteran's organization, until a formal request from the Master was made.
EDICTS Missouri Masonic law regarding use of a code has been largely unenforceable and widely ignored, and is out of step with the times. This edict will supplement previous edicts regarding use of a code and, while continuing to strictly forbid use of a code in a tiled lodge (such use is a Masonic offense), will allow use of the code book "King Solomon and His
1990
GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI
19
Followers", Missouri edition, for purposes of instruction and practice in situations other than a tiled lodge. I, therefore, have issued this Edict: It is not permissible to use a code in a tiled lodge: such use is a Masonic offense. Use of the code "King Solomon and His Followers" (Missouri edition) is permissible for purposes of instruction and practice. Furthermore, I order that a copy of this Edict be sent to each Lodge in the State of Missouri, where it shall be read in its entirety and posted prominently on the bulletin board or trestleboard; and that a copy be sent to each District Deputy Grand Master and each District Deputy Grand Lecturer in this jurisdiction. Effective this Third Day of October, 1989. Over the years, either by design or neglect, displaying the Flag of the United States and recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance have not been made a formalized part of Freemasonry in this jurisdiction. I believe this disregard or disrespect is no longer tolerable. The charge in the First Degree admonishes us as Freemasons to be quiet and peaceable citizens, true to our government and just to our country...and not to countenance disloyalty. If we are "not to countenance disloyalty"-which is to say that our ritual commands us to loyalty to our country-then toward this end we should show our loyalty by displaying the Flag at all communications, and pledging allegiance to it in the Degree where the charge exists so Entered Apprentices and Fellowcrafts may participate in this patriotic ceremony. 'Ib supplement and augment this charge that already exists in our ritual, to give it place and form in our ceremony, and to standardize common practice and custom of the craft, I take this action fully mindful that it is not within my power "to suspend the operation of any law of the Grand Lodge or do anything contrary thereto." At the same time, perhaps contradictorily but certainly preemptively, I am admonished to do "all things necessary for the welfare of the Fraternity" (Section 2.010 [k]). I issue this edict "for the welfare of the Fraternity" and in the firm belief that when its spirit and purpose are implemented no mischief will be done to the ritualistic requirements of the Order. Now, therefore, I, Thomas C. Warden, Grand Master of Masons in the State of Missouri, have issued the following edict: (1) The Flag of the United States of America will be displayed in the East of every Stated and Special Communication of every regular Lodge in the State of Missouri; (2) In the ceremony of Opening the Lodge in the First Degree after the singing of the Opening Ode, the Master will lead the Officers and Brethren in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, saying, ''Brethren, join me in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of our country." It is my order that this edict be read in full in every Lodge at the next Stated Communication, and that it be spread in full upon the minutes of that Communication. Given under my hand and effective this Thirteenth Day of February 1990. DISPENSATIONS Included in the Grand Secretary's Report.

CONSENTS OR PERMISSION Included in the Grand Secretary's Report. HEALINGS Included in the Grand Secretary's Report. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The mind cannot remember nor the heart contain the names of all the brethren to whom I am indebted for their help, aid and assistance during my year as your Grand Master. Particularly after the April 10 automobile accident that carried me too close to my Maker, I will never be able to properly express my sincere appreciation for their prayers and concern. During my visits to your lodges, hundreds have listened-intently and indifferently, in agreement and in powerful disagreement-to what I had to say. Through it all, I have had only th~ welfare of the Fraternity in mind. If I have offended anyone, know that my intentions were honorable and the offense unintentional. I cannot enumerate those in the corps of District Deputy Grand Masters and District Deputy Grand Lecturers to whom I am indebted. They have been faithful and diligent in their responsibilities, as have the chairmen and committees which make our Grand Lodge function. To all of you-Thanks! I shall miss most-in becoming a Past Grand Master-the close association I have had for almost a decade with the advancing line officers, members of the board of directors of the Masonic Home, and the Grand Lodge officers this year. No man has ever been surrounded by a finer officer corps. I step out of the spotlight refreshed by the experience and consoled by the certain knowledge that the Grand Lodge of Missouri is in competent hands and that our advancing officers have the wherewithal to meet the challenges that are ahead. They have my sincere affection and respect. During the year, I have tried to bring some humor with me wherever I visited. From being introduced as the "Most Worshipful Grand Mother", to receiving a "granny" bonnet from Ben Franklin Lodge, to being handed "the gravel of authority", to receiving the "Grand Master's Green Bean Award" from Overland-Occidental Lodge, I have enjoyed myself immensely. The humor has helped balance the seriousness of the task. And finally, I am indebted to four individuals who have played an important part in this journey...to R.W. Deputy Grand Master Dan Cole for his able assistance and sound counsel; to R. W. Grand Secretary Terry Alexander for making my task immeasurably easier; to M.W. Past Grand Master Earl K. Dille, who risked all by appointing me to the advancing line, for his confidence; and to my wife, Mary, for tolerating my absences and standing by me when the task seemed overwhelming.

CONCLUSION Brethren, as we stand at the threshold of a new century, our Fraternity stands at the crossroads of its history. "There is a tide in the affairs of men," Shakespeare wrote, "which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune; omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries." The tide in the affairs of the Masonic Fraternity in Missouri is at the flood; we must set sail now while there is time and tide enough to avoid the shoals and shallows of a changing universe. We CAN meet the challenge. There is talent enough in this honorable and ancient organization to set the course and reach the safe port. It is but a matter of determination and navigation. Brethren, I will feel always that I stand in your midst, on the level, and proud to be called a Freemason. I remain Your Humble Servant, Thomas C. Warden, Grand Master

The motion was seconded and by vote of the Grand Lodge the report was received and submitted to the proper committee.
REPORT OF THE NECROLOGY COMMITTEE "In tender memory of the loved and lost.. "
-From "The Funeral Service," Grand Lodge of Missouri To The Grand Lodge AR & AM. ofMissouri:
The Masonic life is not always a depressing recital of surveys and statistics, however, important such studies might be. There are impressive and heart-warming stories of brotherly help, strengthened lives, and lifelong loyalties which are a testimony to the power of the Masonic fellowship and continue to attract outstanding men to the Fraternity. This past year a Mason visited his terminally ill lodge Brother in the hospital. "Have you practiced your 'one-by-ones'?" the ailing man asked his Masonic brother. Who knows what assurance and comfort the desperately sick man might have gained from the knowledge that he would not be forgotten: the Masons would be there; the Masons would care. It is sobering to reflect that the "one-by-one" losses by death to our Fraternity add up to a severe depletion of our Masonic ranks. Our Grand Secretary reports that 2.369 of our Brethren laid down the working tools of this life to the summonses of the Grand Lodge on high. Many of them shall be gravely missed. When the poet lamented for "the touch of a hand that is gone, the sound of a voice that is still," he could as easily have been talking about the heartache we feel when a Brother can meet and work with us no more. Can the memory not spur and inspire us to be better men, better Masons? It teases the imagination: on a highway leading to our Grand Master's city is a litter control sign. The placard says of this family, "In Memory of our Brother." A cleaner, greener countryside - that loved one would
26
PROCEEDINGS OF THE
1990
have cherished such an act. In the north wall of York Minister cathedral in Britain is a stone bearing the familiar square and compass. The inscription reads: "In Memory of our Masonic Brethren Who Fell During the Great War." Was their memorial not to be another struggle for freedom and democracy a generation later? Their lives and their loss were not in vain because their children and grandchildren, even later Masonic Brethren, were to take up the struggle; and our liberty today, even our Masonic brotherhood, is owed to another and earlier generation which did not forget. How shall we remember - how shall we honor - our departed Brethren? The funeral service contains the solemn promise: "We (shall) be true to you in the practice of the principles of Freemasonry and in tender memory of the loved and lost." To do less would be to dishonor the memory of the departed. But the service also calls upon you and me to "resolve to live honest, pure and worshipful lives." To do so is to honor those whose example, fellowship and Brotherly service brought a unique dimension to our lives. Consider, Brethren, the honest life. This is one of the ways we remember our departed companions; and their example is worthy of emulation. The Mason's word is not alone the ritual rendition: there is a "true word" which is acted and spoken not within the secret confines of the tiled lodge; rather it is demeanor and dedication seen out in the quarries of life where a skeptical and cynical world awaits proof of what these Masons are. Honesty is not only our way of life, but it also is a memorial to our brethren "who walked this way before us." Life for the Masons is also meant to be pure. Josiah Gilbert Holland was not a Mason. but his description of the man to meet "The Day's Demand" penonifies the ideal Mason: God give us men! A time like this demands Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands.... Men who have honor, - men who will not lie... Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog, In public duty and in private thinking. Scan the pages of American history. Such men are few; many are Masons. They hand the torch of purity to us in the confidence that we shall preserve its matchless flame. Before the open grave, the Master promises the Mason's family that our lives shall be "worshipful." To do so is not to bind us to any particular church or creed but rather to assert that there will be evidence of our attachment to and service for Him in whom we all professed to put our trust. Perhaps it is best memorialized in our relationship with the needy and less fortunate. "Every human being has a claim upon your kind offices." It may be the Disaster Relief Fund at work in Mid-Missouri; it may be a telethon in St. Louis or elsewhere; it may be a wheelchair for a needy child in Kansas City; it may be the remembrance for a Masonic widow in any-town, Missouri. "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these." In a small cemetery in central Missouri there is the grave of a Past Grand Master of Missouri, who lost his life untimely during the Civil War.

His monument, erected by the brethren of his county, is a broken column. Who shall restore, make straight and steady, the work that these others have done? It is you. It is I. And without us the memory of those gone before us and the once proud beauty of Freemasonry will be but a broken column. God grant that it be not so, rather stand in honor and beauty for all to see. Let us pray: o Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. From everlasting to everlasting, Thou art God, and we are Thy children, creatures of Thy hand, spirit of Thy life, bearing in our being Thine image. We remember today Thy servants, our Brothers and our friends. How precious they have been to all of us! Everything noble and fine and true about them was a gift from Thee. They have graced our lives in this worshipful fraternal association. We are better because of them and our Brotherhood. As did our departed brothers, may we walk this day in dignity and face our tomorrows with courage. 0 Thou, who art the Great Architect of our lives, grant us to follow Thy plans and designs in faith as did those who have gone this way before us. Amen. While we honor all of our Brethren whom our Fraternity has lost this year, there were some who served the Grand Lodge in special capacities. They were: - R.W. Bro. Albert Eugene Pray, a 49-year Masonic leader, who had served the 42nd District as District Deputy Grand Master in 1952-53. He was Worshipful Master of Clintonville Lodge No. 482, EI Dorado Springs, Missouri, in 1946. He passed away August 12, 1989. - R.W. Bro. Claud T. Foster, who had been Worshipful Master of Four Mile Lodge No. 212, Campbell, Missouri, in 1946, served the Grand Lodge as District Deputy Grand Master of District 60 in 1971-1972 and had previously served as District Deputy Grand Lecturer of the same district from 1960-1961 through 1969-1970. His date of death was September 6, 1989. - R.W. Bro. Harold J. Richardson was Worshipful Master of Allensville Lodge No. 198 for five terms, 1966 through 1971. He went on to serve four terms as District Deputy Grand Master of District 6, 1973 through 1977. He passed away October 23, 1989. - R.W. Bro. Harold Thorne was a 58-year Master Mason of Jackson Lodge No. 82, Linneus, Missouri, serving as its Worshipful Master in 1939. He served four consecutive years as District Deputy Grand Master of District 13, beginning in 1960-61. He passed away January 28, 1990. - R.W. Bro. Thomas B. Mather served as Grand Chaplain for nine Grand Lodge years from 1935 to 1945. He was a Master Mason of sixtytwo years standing, and had been Worshipful Master of Jefferson Lodge No. 43, Jefferson City, in 1931. He was a native of England having come to
28
PROCEEDINGS OF THE

this land at the age of six. He Also served as Grand Orator in 1939-1940, and until the day of his death, January 8, 1990, served as Representative of the Grand Lodge of Connecticut near the Grand Lodge of Missouri. Dr. Mather was a United Methodist minister and a frequent contributor to national and secular religious publications. - R.W. Bro. Bert C. Casselman, who died March 1, 1990, served as Grand Pursuivant in 1981-1982. He was Past Master of Ivanhoe Lodge No. 446, Kansas City, and a Past Grand High Priest of Royal Arch Masons of Missouri. His universal interest in Freemasonry is attested to by his membership in Quatuor Coronati Lodge in London, the Phoenix Lodge of Paris, France, and the United Master Lodge of New Zealand. - R.W. Bro. Herbert C. Hoffman of Kansas City, likewise was a member of Ivanhoe Lodge No. 446. At the time of his death March 4, 1990, he had almost achieved fifty years of membership. A distinguished attorney, he had served as Counselor of Kansas City for seven years. In the Grand Lodge, he was a member of the Committee on Jurisprudence from 1979 through 1986, serving as its Chairman in 1981-82. He had been Worshipful Master of Country Club Lodge No. 656 in 1953, later demitting to Ivanhoe Lodge No. 446. - R.W. Bro. George J. Seil, a member of Missouri Lodge No.1, now Missouri-Commonwealth Lodge No.1, St. Louis, served as Master of the latter lodge in 1948. In 1952-1953 he was District Deputy Grand Master of District 33-A. He passed away March 8, 1990. - R.W. Bro. George J. Grossius, who served the Grand Lodge as District Deputy Grand Master of District 33-A in 1940-1941, was a Past Master of Commonwealth Lodge No. 654, later Missouri-Commonwealth No.1, St. Louis. His term as Master of the former lodge was 1934. R.W. Bro. Grossius was a Master Mason of sixty-two and a half years standing. He passed away June 12, 1990. - R.W. Bro. Harold C. Smith, formerly District Deputy Grand Master of District 33-A, St. Louis, as well as being former Grand Pursuivant of the Grand Lodge, was Past Master of West Gate Lodge No. 445 and its former Secretary. He was called by many "a Mason's Mason," was an accomplished ritualist and a member of most Masonic bodies. It was said that his Masonic services were the largest in recent years for a St. Louis Mason, a testimony to the respect in which he was held. Your Committee will add other names and records to this honored list as the information is available in local lodge reports to the Grand Secretary's office. Respectfully submitted, WM. H.

ADDENDUM TO THE COMMITrEE ON NECROLOGY REPORT: COL. JAMES McBRAYER SELLERS Grand Master, 1953-1954 Genesis 6:4 - "There were giants in the earth in those days." Shakespeare, ~ ~ "0 Julius Caesar, thou art mighty yet! Thy spirit walks abroad." Most Worshipful Brother and Colonel James McBrayer Sellers, Grand Master of the Grand Lodge, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of Missouri, 1953-54, passed away at his beloved Lexington, Missouri, September 5, 1990. In writing about Col. Sellers and his family, that distinguished biographer, George C. Marquis, called them "one of Missouri's most notable families, judged by the high standard of moral example, unselfish service to country in war and in peace, and three generations devoted to the education and training of youth." To this we would add Col. Sellers' standing as a leader in local, state and even national affairs, especially in the Masonic fraternity and its appendant bodies. His father, Col. Sandford Sellers, was a distinguished educator as well. A native of Kentucky, he received his education during the difficult days of Reconstruction, going on to teach in public schools in Kentucky and 'Thxas, later serving as Professor of English in Austin College, Sherman, Texas. In 1880, he came to join a college classmate on the faculty of the Wentworth Male Academy, later Wentworth Military Academy, Lexington, Missouri. Becoming Co-Principal in that year, he was to remain as Superintendent, then President, for almost sixty years. James McBrayer Sellers, the youngest child of Col. Sandford Sellers, was born June 20, 1895. He was to be a graduate of Wentworth, winning distinguished awards as an outstanding cadet. His success was not confined to matters military because he was to be a summa cum laude graduate of the University of Chicago, majoring in Greek, minoring in Geology. He was a member of Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma Xi, the national scientific fraternity as well as Beta Theta Phi, the social fraternity. While an undergraduate he was a University Marshal, an honor reserved for outstanding students. Later the young Sellers did graduate work at the University of Missouri. He was to marry in 1925 Miss Rebecca Hall Evans of Independence, whose father was Vice-President and Chairman of the Board of Emery, Bird, Thayer and Company, the first department store -in Kansas City. "Miss Becky," as many were to call her through the years, was the greatgranddaughter of Stephen G. Wentworth, the benefactor and founder of Wentworth Military Academy. The Sellers were to become the parents of three sons, two of whom are still associated with the Academy, Stephen Wentworth Sellers and James McBrayer Sellers, Jr., of Lexington; and Fred Evans Sellers of Georgetown, Texas. There are also seven grandchildren. Col. Sellers was to have a distinguished military record. When the

PROCEEDINGS OF THE
1990
United States entered World War I, he volunteered for service and was commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the Marine Corps. (All of us former Marines or infantry veterans know of the high casualty rate among such officers.) In overseas service, "Mac" Sellers soon achieved the rank of Captain, being in command of the 78th Company, 6th Marines, Second Division. The young officer, only in his early twenties, participated in the battles of Chateau-Thierry and Mont Blanc and in the Meuse Argonne offensive. He was wounded in action and received the Purple Heart. For bravery in action, he received the following awards: Distinguished Service Cross, Navy Cross, Silver Star, and the French Croix de Guerre. Following the war, he was on duty for a short while with the Marine Corps recruiting service in Spokane, Washington. In 1921 he returned to Lexington where through the years he became successively Assistant Commandant and instructor in Mathematics and Latin (which latter subject he taught until the age of ninety four); Commandant; Superintendant, and later President of the corporate body of Wentworth Military Academy. He was later to be President of the Association of Military Colleges and Schools of the United States. After receiving the degrees of Craft Masonry in Lexington Lodge No. 149 in 1920 and 1921, Col. Sellers served that Lodge as Worshipful Master in 1938. In 1943 he was appointed Grand Sword Bearer of the Grand Lodge, AF. & AM. of Missouri by M.W. Bro. William Francis Woodruff. He progressed through the places and stations until he became Grand Master in 1953. Col. Sellers was a member of the various bodies of Capitular, Cryptic and Chivalric Masonry. He served as Grand Commander of the Knights Templar of Missouri in 1951-52. A member of the Red Cross of Constantine, he was Sovereign of St. Chrysostom Conclave and Intendant General. He was a member of Allied Masonic Degrees, the Missouri Lodge of Research, and Ararat Shrine Temple. He was regarded as a superb ritualist, serving as High Priest for degree conferral in neighboring states, the Philippines, and Canada. During his year as Grand Master, he gave the keynote address to the Conference of Grand Masters in Washington, D.C. The term "Renaissance man" is often over-used or incorrectly used of some who have achieved public note without possessing the private virtues or the passion for life in all its dimensions. Not so with M.W. Bro. Sellers! He was a churchman of the highest order, a student with a love for the classics, especially his beloved Latin, an athlete while strength persisted, a patron of the arts. His demeanor was such that the phrase, "a scholar and a gentleman" could have been defined by his life. When he was laid to rest in the Lexington Memorial Cemetery September 11, 1990, it was as if the shadows were closing on a golden era of America; and yet the principles for which he stood and which had sustained him were to live beyond his life. Again Shakespeare serves me well in those eulogistic words written of a figure from history: "His life was gentle, and the elements So mix'd in him that Nature might stand up And say to all the world, 'This was a man!'"

Two points climax this brief eulogy. The human and humorous touch James McBrayer Sellers brought to life did not diminish but enlarged his reputation. In later years as a senior statesman of the Grand Lodge, he slyly embellished his points with a laugh, a delicious and amusing expression which did not separate, rather united, him with those from whom he differed. Again, one of his gifts to Lexington was his family. In late years at a family reunion he formed the Sellers clan into a private band and led them through the town. He found the cup of life good and emptied the cup. In the Masonic service held for M.W.Bro. Sellers, our Junior Grand Warden, R.W. Bro. Frank Ames Arnold, reminded those attending that there were three great contributions which our veteran leader had made as Grand Master. One was that he began the movement to enlarge the Masonic Home by what came to be known as the Hospital Building, a facility destined to serve well for a generation of needy brothers and sisters. Secondly, he led the process of change whereby the Deputy Grand Master, not the Grand Master, would be the Chairman of the Masonic Home Board. Finally, much credit is due him for the establishment of a Grand Lodge journal, ~ Freemason magazine. Missouri Freemasonry is the better because of Col. Sellers. He would have said modestly that he was better because of Freemasonry. So may it be for all of us! --R.W Bro. Howard I. (Ike) Tobin of Higginsville, Past District Deputy Grand Master of the 23rd District, passed away August 12, 1990. A leader in community, church and 4-H work, he served as Master of Higginsville Lodge No. 364 in 1965 and from 1966-1988 he was Secretary of the lodge. His five year term as District Deputy Grand Master extended from 1970 to 1975. M.W. Brother J.C. Montgomery moved that the Necrology Report and addendum be received and printed in the PROCEEDINGS. The motion was seconded and by vote of the Grand Lodge the report was RECEIVED.

The following pages are the audit report of the independent Certified Public Accountants engaged by the Board of Directors to the Masonic Home. The report shows assets, liabilities, fund balances, current income, and current expenses of all of our funds (restricted or unrestricted). Gifts, bequests, and contributions which contain legal restrictions as to their use are deposited in the Endowment or Building Funds. All Building Fund, principal and income, are to be used for the purchase of land, building, and equipment. The remaining restricted funds generally provide for the use of income from investments for operations of the Masonic Home. Principle of the restricted funds may not be used. The Reserve Fund is an ad-

junct of the General Fund. Income of this fund is used for current operations. The Board of the Masonic Home may, at its discretion, use the principal of the Reserve Fund for current operations. Current operations are reflected in the General Fund. The excess of income over expenses for an Funds other than the General Fund at the end of the year after income transfers is the result of gifts, bequests, and stock transactions during the year.
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT Board of Directors Masonic Home of Missouri St. Louis, Missouri We have audited the balance sheets of Masonic Home of Missouri as of June 30, 1990 and 1989, and the related statements of operations and changes in fund balances for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Home's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted audit路 ing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluat.ing the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Masonic Home of Missouri as of June 30, 1990 and 1989, and the results of its operations and changes in fund balances for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. As discussed in Note 3, Masonic Home of Missouri is in the process of disposing of the property, plant and equipment of the Eastern Unit. The ultimate outcome of the disposition cannot presently be determined. Accordingly, no provision for losses that may result upon the disposition, if any, have been made in the accompanying financial statements. LAVENTHOL & HORWATH August 3, 1990

MASONIC HOME OF MISSOURI NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 1990 AND 1989 1. Organization and summary of significant accounting policies:
Description of funds: Current fund: Unrestricted - general: General Fund unrestricted income includes all income from residents of the Masonic Home of Missouri (lithe Horne"), dividends and interest from the reserve and endowment funds, per capita taxes from the Grand Lodge and Grand Chapter Order of the Eastern Star and other general fund contributions. This income is used to fund the operations of the Home. Unrestricted - reserve: Unrestricted revenue fund income includes undesignated gifts and bequests and Grand Lodge initiation fees which, according to Board policy, are transferable to the general fund and expendable for operations only upon approval of the Board of Directors. Dividend and interest income from reserve fund investments is transferred to the general fund except for funds to pay agency management fees. Realized gains and losses from reserve fund security transactions are recorded in the Reserve Fund. Endowments: Certain gifts and bequests to the Home are in the form of endowments which contain legal restrictions as to the use of such funds. Generally, the restrictions provide that the income from the investment of the gifts and bequests be available for operations of the general fund while the principal amounts are to remain invested and are not available for current operations. Accordingly, interest and dividend income from the investment of endowment funds is recorded as transfers to the general fund except for funds to pay agency management fees. Realized gains and losses from endowment fund security transactions are recognized in the Endowment Funds. Building fund: Contributions for the improvement of buildings and grounds and future construction and the related expenses have been recorded in the Building Fund. Property, plant and equipment and depreciation have been recorded in the Building Fund. Contributions for the design and construction of the Masonic Home of Missouri Western Unit have been recorded in the Building Fund.
50
PROCEEDINGS OF THE 1990 Interest income from these monies and expenditures for design and construction of the Western Unit have also been recorded in the Building Fund. Investments in marketable securities: Marketable securities donated to the Home are recorded at their fair market value as of the date the gift is received; securities purchased by the Home are recorded at cost. Interest and dividend income from these investments is recognized as income when received. Gains and losses from the sale of securities are recognized at the time of sale, and represent the difference between the proceeds received and the carrying value of the securities determined on an average basis.
Property, plant and equipment: Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost or estimated cost. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, with one-half year's depreciation taken in the years of acquisition and disposal. Change in presentation: In 1990, the Home changed the "statement of income, expenses and changes in fund balances" to the "statement of operations" and "statement of changes in fund balances" for both years presented. Reclassifications: Certain 1989 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 1990 presentation. Home family, pension income and C&A fund: Upon admission to the Home, residents are required to assign and transfer all personal assets to the Home for which the residents will be provided care for the remainder of their lives. Nonmonetary assets transferred to the Home are sold as soon as practicable, and the proceeds are recorded at the time of sale. Monetary assets, except fullyfunded insurance policies, are recorded at fair market value at the date of receipt. It is the Home's policy to not recognize the cash surrender value of fully-funded life insurance policies at the time of entrance in the Home but to recognize the proceeds upon death of the resident. Pension and social security retirement income funds available to residents are assets of the Home. The Home provides each resident a monthly allowance of $35 plus additional amounts for birthdays and holidays. The unexpended portion of these allowances ($115,449 and $143,597 at June 30, 1990 and 1989, respectively) is held in custody by the Home in accounts segregated from Home assets. Remaining balances at the time of the death of the resident revert to the General Fund.

from the trust is pai.d directly to the Home. At June 30, 1990 and 1989, the fund balances (unaudited) of the Gussie Grenner fund were $885,991 and $824,754 respectively. Income accrued and paid to the Home was $63,769 and $54,852 for the years ended June 30, 1990 and 1989, respectively. 5. Pension plan: The Board of Directors of the Home voted to adopt a defined-contribution employee pension plan ("the Plan") which went into effect on July 1, 1984. The Plan benefits all non-union employees who were eligible and employed as of the effective date of the Plan or each July 1 thereafter. Employees who have completed six months of service by each July 1 are eligible to participate in the Plan. Employees who met length of service requirements as of July 1, 1984, as defined in the Plan, were eligible for contributions for past service prior to July 1, 1984. These past service costs are being funded over the five years which commenced July 1, 1984. The Plan requires the Home to make annual contributions equal to 5 percent of each eligible employee's compensation. Pension expense under the Plan was $30,458 and $19,256 for the years ended June 30, 1990 and 1989, respectively. In accordance with the union contract, all eligible union employees are covered by a union defined contribution pension plan. Pension expense under this plan was $13,468 and $29,016 for the years ended June 30, 1990 and 1989, respectively. 6. Managed care: During the year ended June 30, 1990, the Home ceased operations of the Eastern Unit. Residents of the Eastern Unit have now been relocated to other retirement communities under two monthly arrangements at various monthly fees. The Home is committed under one of the retirement community agreements through July 31, 1991 which provides care to approximately 180 residents. The monthly charge for providing residents with room, board and general nursing care ranges from approximately $1,650 to $2,050 and is payable in advance. The other retirement .community agreement is a monthly agreement and provides care to approximately 20 residents. The monthly charge for providing residents with room, board and nursing care ranges from $2,150 to $2,450. In addition, ancillary services are billed to the Home on a monthly basis under both agreements.

Daniel F. Cole, President Board of Directors Masonic Home of Missouri 5351 Delmar Blvd. St. Louis, MO 63112 Dear R.W Brother Cole: The Masonic Home Cheer Committee submits the following Report for 1989-90 for your approval. The Annual Election of Officers was held on September 17, 1989 with the following officers being elected by acclamation: Paul W. Jarnagin Leona Baerman Richard Teubner
President Vice President Secretary-Treasurer
Brother Jarnagin and Brother Thubner agreed to remain in their offices, only until replacements could be found, and in order to continue good will and cheer to the residents of the Home. These Brothers have served on the committee well, for several years, and are to be commended for the length ofloyal and faithful service given to the residents. They will be sadly missed. The Thanksgiving Distribution was held on November 18, 1989. Memhers of the committee visited with each resident of the home, either in the dining room, or in the hospital. Each one received a lovely Thanksgiving card and monetary gift with either their card, or credited to their account. A Christmas Party was held in the dining room on December 15, 1989. All enjoyed the entertainment that was presented, "The Gold Stream Dancers". Immediately following ice cream and cookies were served. Our Christmas Distribution was held on December 16, 1989. On April 9, 1990, the Annual Spring meeting was held. A special election was held to fill the vacancies of offices of President, and SecretaryTreasurer, at their request. Robert G. Alcorn was elected to serve as President, and he later appointed Oscar (Jay) Crites to fill the office of Secretary-Treasurer. The Spring-Summer activities were also planned. May 12, 1990 - Mother's Day Distribution. Appropriate cards were given to all residents with a monetary gift, or deposited in their account. June 16, 1990 - Father's Day Distribution. June 27, 1990 - A Concert was presented by the Moolah Band. Ice cream was served by the committee members. Our sincere thanks to Moolah Band. July 12, 1990 - Bingo and Ice Cream Social. We had a good attendance for the bingo, and ice cream was served. The July Birthday's were celebrated by the Home, along with this party, and they provided a decorated cake for the occasion. We thank Tina Ogle and her staff for their assistance. On July 28, 1990, fifteen residents traveled with us to Kirkwood Thm-
58 1990 PROCEEDINGS OF THE pIe for their Annual Chicken and Fish Dinner. They enjoyed the delicious meal served, and each received a 'bag of fruit' to take home with them. We greatly appreciate the gracious hospitality of Kirkwood Lodge. We also thank Ralph for driving the bus, and Mr. Pascal for permitting us to use the bus, along with some other volunteers. All our activities are made possible through generous donations from various Lodges, Eastern Star Chapters, other Masonic Bodies, and many other individuals. For their generous support, we thank them, as well as the Home Staff support throughout the year. A Special Thank You to Leona Baerman, Vice President, for her assistance in taking charge whenever I was unable to be there.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE
1990
President's Report of the Masonic Home As forecasted in last year's President's Report, significant changes have taken place in the operation and direction of the Masonic Home of Missouri. This year presented the Board of Directors with many challenges, significant decisions, and hours of meetings. In spite of responsibilities to family, employment, and other commitments, Board members were always willing to give of their talents. Missouri Masonry is fortunate to have such brethren serving on the Masonic Home Board. Volunteers Support The work of the membership and volunteers continues to be a major component of the Masonic Home program. As we have become involved with the operation of other healthcare facilities we have discovered how fortunate we are to benefit from the contributions of the Cheer Committee, the Wardens and Masters Clubs, and countless volunteers. Their efforts for the residents of our Eastern and Western operations are second to none. Order Of The Eastern Star A term often referenced in discussions oflong-term healthcare is "quality of life," a recognition that our residents have emotional and sociological needs which are just as important to their well-being as are their physical needs. This "quality of life" has always been a priority of the Order of the Eastern Star, and this year has been no exception. Through the efforts of Georgia Beason, Helen Erwin, and Betty Lee Egner of the OES Advisory Board and Geraldine Molander and Lonnie Stalder of the Planning Committee the OES continued its long tradition of support for our Masonic Home. Board Meetings Because of the changes which have taken place and the need to explain the process being followed to establish the future course of the Home program, Masonic Home representatives and district officers were invited to attend Board meetings held in several locations around the state. After ~ach meeting, a short presentation was made by Board and staff members on the Home program, and attendees were invited to participate with comments and questions. Approximately 300 brethren attended meetings held in Shelbina, St. Louis, Kansas City, Jefferson City, Springfield, Chillicothe, and Poplar Bluff. While these meetings were designed primarily to provide information to the lodges, they also gave the Board an opportunity to hear the concerns and questions of the membership. This input was used directly in the formation of the conceptual plan discussed later in this report. 1b all those who attended these meetings, as well as. those lodges who were kind enough to let us use their facilities, we offer our sincerest appreciation. C
Board Vacancy At last year's annual Session, Brother Roy E. Willey was elected to serve a four year term as a member of the Board of Directors of the Ma-
1990 GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI 61 sonic Home. On December 15, 1989 Brother Willey was suddenly called to the Grand Lodge On High. Although the Board had the honor of serving with Brother Willey for only two meetings, that time was sufficient to determine the caliber of this Board member and his ability to quickly grasp situations and propose viable solutions. Article I, Section 2 of the by-laws of the Masonic Home of Missouri provides that, in the event of a vacancy among the elected members, the Board of Directors may temporarily fill such vacancy until the next Annual Communication. A committee, chaired by Board member Robert Kellstrom, was appointed to solicit and review resumes of potential candidates. This process gave the Board an opportunity to examine and choose a director who could best assist the Board in the fulfillment of its responsibilities. After considering several highly qualified brethren, the committee recommended, and the Board approved, that Worshipful Brother Warren Betts be extended an invitation to fill the vacancy. Brother Betts agreed to serve. Warren, through his experience with Christian Health Systems and his previous experience on other nursing home boards, has made a significant contribution to the Masonic Home. The Board of Directors extends to Warren its heartfelt thanks. As the vacancy was filled on a temporary basis, this Grand Lodge must elect a Board member for the remaining three years of the term. Due to the different length of term of this position versus that of the other directors to be elected, I recommended to the Grand Master that the nomination and election to fill this vacancy be h~ld separately. Eastern Unit Residents Move As presented at last year's Annual Communication, the residents of our Eastern Unit were to be relocated from our Delmar Facility. This move was completed on December 20, 1989, with the majority of the residents housed at Bethesda West in Ellisville. Those residents requiring significantly higher levels of care were relocated to Bethesda Dilworth in Webster Groves, and Village Manor North in North St. Louis County. With the location of residents in multiple facilities, the administration of the Masonic Home program has increased in complexity. In spite of this, the Staff of the Home has performed in an admirable manner. Delmar Facility Estimates made during the budgeting process indicated that the cost to maintain the Delmar property, even though only administrative staff would be present, would be around $400,000 per year. The Board took steps to dispose of this property through a commercial real estate agency and a liquidation firm. Planning Committee During his term as president of the Home Board, Most Worshipful Brother Warden appointed a committee to begin the development of a long range plan for the Masonic Home. That committee was continued this year, with the addition of Brother Betts and, representing the Order of the Eastern Star, Geraldine Molander and Lonnie Stalder. With the assistance of the Home Staff and outside legal consultants, several options were examined and a conceptual plan was developed. This conceptual plan is presented in Appendix A to this report.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE
1990
Home By-Laws Several changes have been approved by the Board of Directors as a part of implementing the conceptual plan. By-law changes are presented in Appendix B to this report and are summarized as follows: 1. The amendment to Article III, Section 1, Paragraph (c) would delineate designation of physician care between those with life care contracts and those otherwise admitted to the facilities of the Masonic Home of Missouri. 2. The amendment to Article VI, Section 3 would allow the Board to provide for other forms of assistance beyond admission to facilities of the Masonic Home of Missouri. 3. The amendments to Article VIII, Sections 1, 2, and 3 would broaden the definition of those eligible for and the form of assistance from the Masonic Home of Missouri. 4. The amendment to Article VIII, Section 5 would allow the Board to admit those who would not qualify under the "socially and/or financially disadvantaged" criteria, if space is available. 5. The amendment to Article IX, Section 2 narrows the scope of disposition of assets to those who have life care contracts with the Masonic Home. These by-laws are presented for Grand Lodge approval through acceptance of this report. Appreciation to Board Members As in previous years, the devotion and work of the members of the Board of Directors has been nothing short of outstanding. In addition to their ready willingness to give of their time and talents, this year's directors also agreed to travel to the four corners of the state for Board meetings. 'lb all the Board members, thank you for your devotion to this Fraternity. A special thanks to the two retiring members of the Board, Brothers Rich Goff and Don Scott. Both Rich and Don served as committee chairmen during their terms. While the responsibilities of a Board chairman are always challenging, this year was particularly so with the move of our Eastern Unit residents, the disposal of the Delmar property, and the development of our conceptual plan. Much of what the Board can claim it has accomplished this year is a direct result of Brother Gaffs and Brother Scott's unswerving dedication. This year's meetings offered some of the most candid and open debate I have experienced during my tenure on this Board. While many of our discussions were lengthy and tedious, we worked and pulled together as a team. It can honestly be said this was a Masonic group "that could best work and best agree." APPENDIX A CONCEPrUAL PLAN The Masonic Home of Missouri since 1889 has provided care for needy Master Masons, their wives or widows, and female members of the Order
1990
GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI
63
of Eastern Star of Missouri, in a place devoted to the comfortable extension of their Jives. With our changing society it has become necessary to consider a new concept in continuing to provide this care. Last year, a report was made at Grand Lodge regarding the action taken by the Masonic Home Board of Directors to close the Eastern Unit facilities in St. Louis and relocate the residents living there. Subsequently, the Eastern Unit residents were relocated to three facilities. One hundred seventy, including those who only require residential care, to Bethesda West in EUisvi]]e; thirty-five to Vi]]age North in Florissant; and a few who were incontinent to Bethesda Dilworth in Kirkwood. The physical facilities located on Delmar were then placed on the market for sale. As part of that report you were also advised that the Board's Long Range Planning Committee would be meeting to develop a plan of action. A plan which you would be informed of at this Grand Lodge session. During the past year the Masonic Home Board has held its meetings in a different location throughout the state each month to inform the membership through the Lodge Masonic Home Representatives of the Board Action regarding the Eastern Unit. This afforded the Board the opportunity to become aware of the members general attitude regarding application for admission to the home. The Long Range Planning Committee has met on several occasions, and, in May, presented a concept to the full board for approval to develop. Time did not allow for all of the details to be determined or questions to be fully answered for inclusion in this report. The Board was requested to approve the concept, with the understanding that additional details must be developed and reported to the Board before the plan was considered to be fully developed for implementation. The concept is based on the following assumptions: 1. The Mission of the Masonic Home of Missouri is to assist in meeting the health care and other needs of those eligible individuals who request our assistance. 2. We will continue to honor the existing life care contracts now in effect. 3. In lieu of entering into new Life Care contracts, applications will be accepted on the basis of: A PRIVATE PAY PROGRAM, and A FINANCIAL NEEDS PROGRAM 4. A Needs Assessment Program shall be established. 5. The Western Unit will remain a 40 bed residential care facility. 6. An Eastern Unit for residential care will be established, with facilities for the Masonic Home of Missouri Corporate Headquarters. To Elaborate on the Above Items: 1. The mission statement of the Masonic Home of Missouri remains unchanged. 2. Those residents who now have Life Care agreements will continue to be cared for without change. The cost for this care is anticipated to be ap-
64
PROCEEDINGS OF THE
1990
proximately $20,000,000. 3. As of October 1, 1990 Life Care agreements will not be entered into. In lieu of this type of agreement, a Private Pay Program will be established. The Board, as it moved about the state, was informed that members did not want to turn over all of their assets to the home, and that they preferred to remain in their community close to family, friends, and their Masonic family. This information was helpful in arriving at the recommendation to establish the Private Pay and Financial Assistance Programs. The change from Life Care contracts to a Private Pay Pr0gram will permit applicants to remain in their communities if they wish. Should a resident not have sufficient funds to meet the expenses of a private facility or those of the Eastern or Western Residential Care Units, the Masonic Home will assist the resident in applying for supplemental government assistance and endeavor to provide financial assistance where necessary, subject to availability of resources. When a residential care resident requires intermediate or skilled nursing care, but lacks funds for payment of such services the home will assist in locating a suitable facility; assist the resident in qualifying for Medicaid; and under the Medicaid rules endeavor to pay for permitted amenities, subject to availability of resources. Specific guidelines will be developed as to implementation of the Financial Assistance Program. 4. A Needs Assessment Committee will be established. The committee will be multi-disciplinary and will respond to applications when submitted to the home to determine the nature of the need; such as financial, medical, meals on wheels, residential care, visiting nurse care, or for some other need that we may be of assistance. 5. The Western Unit will remain as a residential care facility. 6. An Eastern Residential Care Unit will be established. The unit may be purchased, leased, or constructed new. The location and details have not been determined at this time. The Home Corporate Administrative Offices will be located in this facility as they were when the Eastern Unit was located on Delmar. As previously reported, the home has been operated over the past six (6) years with a deficit budget. At this time it is anticipated that following implementation of the new concept, the home will be operating on a balanced budget within five (5) years. Much work remains to be accomplished, including verification of the length of time to reach a balanced budget. Through the Freemason, you will be kept informed as the various parts of the concept are implemented. The Board of Directors look forward to providing the membership with services that are responsive to the needs it has heard expressed during this past year.

SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT OF THE MASONIC HOME R.W. Brother Cole presented supplemental information to the printed booklet. He noted that in July, 1990 the Board of Directors Received two very special gifts from the Order of Eastern Star Advisory Board: (1) a check for $35,000 to cover the completion of the installation of an elevator at the Western Unit and (2) a check for $21,000 to remove the stained glass from the chapel at the Eastern Unit. R.W. Brother Cole added that an auction was held on September 7 through the 12, 1990 at the Delmar property. The personal property at this address was sold for approximately a quarter of a million dollars. Also, an auction was held on Sept. 10, 1990 on the real estate at the Delmar property. While a bid was received, it was the judgment of the Board that the bid did not meet the terms and conditions of the real estate contract. The bid was therefore rejected. The real estate at the Delmar property is still available for sale. Fraternally submitted, DANIEL F. COLE, President of the Masonic Home of Missouir Board of Directors R.W. Brother D. Robert Downey presented Appendix A of the Masonic Home Report. R.W. Brother Cole moved that the pre-printed Report and Supplemental Report of the Masonic Home be accepted and printed in the PROCEEDINGS.

REPORT OF THE COMMItTEE ON GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS To The Grand Lodge AF. & AM. ofMissouri: BRETHREN:
The Committee for the Grand Master's Address submits the following report. We compliment our Grand Master on his findings of some important problems that face the craft in these times of declining membership. His reported suggestions from other Brethren has left a vivid image of conditions that exist in our Fraternity today. The Grand Master's creation of the Renewal Task Force along with other programs appear to be a positive step toward continuity of the Masonic Family. His obvious concern and effort to find a workable solution to our problems is commendable and should be seriously considered. We admire Brother Warden for his determination to fulfill his obligations in light of his serious automobile accident midway through his term of office. His spirit and dedication to the Fraternity is evident in overcoming this adversity. The Grand Master has made numerous recommendations and the Committee finds that those parts of his address that need further study and development be referred to the proper committees under the direction of the Grand Lodge Officers for appropriate action. Further, that his decisions, edicts, dispensations, consents or permissions and healings be referred to the Jurisprudence Committee for their review and report. It is with sincere appreciation that the Masons of Missouri express their gratitude to Most Worshipful Brother Warden and his wife Mary for their representation of the Grand Lodge of Missouri throughout this past year. May they find continued success and rewards in all future endeavors. Fraternally submitted, ROBERT D. JENKINS, Chairman BRUCE H. HUNT J. MORGAN DoNELSON

7b the Grand Lodge AF. & AM. ofMissouri: Your Committee prepared and distributed, as required by law, the cumulative annual Pocket Part for use in 1989-1990, with the Constitution and By-Laws - 1958, as published in 1977. We respectfully urge the Brethren to carefully examine and review the materials printed therein, and to make use of it, and each annual update of it, in order to keep current with developments in Masonic Law. The directories, biographical sketches of the Grand Master and Deputy Grand Master, summary of actions taken by the Grand Lodge last, and proposed amendments for action in this Grand Lodge communication should be helpful to each Lodge and its members. Always refer to the Pocket Part when using the bound vol路 ume, in order to find the latest actions under the appropriate section. We of the Committee express our appreciation for the opportunity to serve the Grand Lodge, and we cordially invite the Brethren to bring to our attention any errors noted for prompt correction thereof.

To the Grand Lodge AF. & A.M. ofMissouri: The Committee on Chartered Lodges met in the Offices of the Grand Lodge on August 16, 1990 to examine the annual returns of the subordinate lodges and the reports of the District Deputy Grand Masters. We submit the following report: There were 63,789 members reported in the 438 returns available on August 16, 1990. Incomplete returns do not allow a more accurate estimate of total membership at this time. In reviewing the membership changes the committee primarily looked at raisings, deaths, and suspensions for non-payment of dues. Deaths continue to be a major part of the
74
PROCEEDINGS OF THE
1990
membership changes for many lodges. Thirty three lodges reported twenty or more suspensions for non-payment of dues; one reporting 49 members suspended. However some of the lodges also show reinstatements indicating that they are actively pursuing delinquent members. Many lodges are taking charge of their membership totals by raising new master masons. The Grand Master's challenge to each lodge to raise five master masons was met by 44 of the lodges reporting. One lodge raised 17 brothers. Furthermore seven lodges raised more than double the Grand Master's goal for new members. In all, seven hundred and one new master masons were raised. All of the lodges who raised new master masons are to be commended for their contributions to the health of the craft. It is hoped that more lodges will report such gains on their next annual returns. In addition to the annual meeting at Columbia, the committee met frequently during the past year at St. Louis, Missouri. These meetings were to work on three projects chosen by the committee; a sample by-laws, a guide for lodge consolidations, and a manual for lodge secretaries. Drafts of the by-laws and the consolidation manual are available on request from the Grand Secretary. The work on the Secretary's manual is more longterm and will be made available at a later date. The committee would welcome any suggestions members may have on these three projects. One improvement taking place at the Grand Lodge offices and within some Lodges is the use of computers to improve the timeliness and accuracy of lodge records. It is expected that many aspects of masonic recordkeeping will benefit from the use of computers. The committee hopes to be of some assistance on these efforts in the future. During our review of the annual returns and the District Deputy's reports, the committee recorded a number of concerns on the condition of some lodges. These concerns will be addressed by the committee with the lodge masters through the appropriate district deputies. Overall there are signs of hope in some of the lodge returns and deputy's reports; increases in members, activities, and interest. The committee hopes to be of assistance to the craft in aiding this pattern of growth and renewal in the subordinate lodges. Fraternally submitted, DoNALD W. BRIDEGAN ELMER D. COPELAND WILBUR M.

COMMITrEE ON CHARTERED LODGES SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT Most Worshipful Grand Master, Distinguished Guests, Brethren, The Committee on Chartered Lodges wishes to supplement it's annual report in three areas.
1990
GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI
75
First, the latest information on file at the Grand Secretary's Office indicates approximately 70,000 members in 484 lodges. Some annual reports have not yet been received so that total is not complete. Lodges with returns yet due are urged to submit them as soon as possible. If some help is needed in submitting these reports, the committee will assist where it can. Second, the committee invites lodges and individuals to share with us information on programs that have worked in their lodgell. We have already collected some information on Lodge by laws and on lodge mergers. We want to assist in spreading the word on programs and projects that have helped in your lodges. Third, the committee recommends that the Craft enter a year of rediscovery of the basic tenets and cardinal virtues of Freemasonry as the surest way to a revival of the Fraternity. We all obligated ourselves to the observance of certain rules and modes of conduct when we took our degrees. No end purpose, no matter how laudible, relieves us from these obligations. Neither should we consider that Freemasonry is like a fine suit, to be put on for ceremonial occasions only, and otherwise laid aside when we are about in the world. Nowhere is our duty more simply put than in the Master's Charge to the Lodge at closing. Fraternally submitted DoNALD W. BRIDEGAN ELMER D. CoPELAND WILBUR M. DAUGHTREY BoBBY HOLLAND WILFRED G.

Time is the key element for our members who do not attend our meetings and for those who are not interested in joining. Let's examine what other jurisdictions have to say concerning the condition of Freemasonry in their States.
CONDITION OF FREEMASONRY Grand Lodge of Alberta The Grand Master of Alberta in his report for 1989, comments on the reports submitted by the District Deputy Grand Masters. "It is unfortunate that the written word cannot convey the dedication that each of the D.D.G.M.s has displayed in the type of report they have submitted. I assure you that they have expressed in detail the condition of Masonry in Alberta. I have reviewed a number of reports, some dating as far back as 1907. I found that the reports were printed in the Proceedings as submitted by the D.D.G.M.s. This practice could certainly serve as a useful source of knowledge for the new D.D.G.M.s elect, and would help them to fonn a plan of procedure that would assure a continuity of the facts relating to the condition that exists in each of the Districts. I can appreciate that some reports, by their length, could cause some concern, but I am sure that with a little guidance they could be kept in line without losing the personal overtones, and the in-depth knowledge each has gained because
80
PROCEEDINGS OF THE
1990
of the close relationship that he has developed with each of his Lodges during his year. After reading the reports one cannot help being moved by the mixed emotions that you are left with - some of sadness, some of expectation, others of enthusiasm and joy. You can hear the cries for help from some Lodges and the cheers of happiness and succe88 from others. I do believe that such a dilemma can be corrected by a concentrated effort, and the expertise within the Craft, to assure the success of All Districts of Masonry in Alberta." Grand Lodge of Idaho: "It is my opinion as your Grand Master that the Masons in this Jurisdiction, I mean the Brethren who practice the principles of this Fraternity in their daily lives, the Brethren who assist in the operation of their Lodges, give lectures, raise candidates, and strive to make our Ancient and Honorable Craft a more viable asset to our communities. These Masons are as strong as they have been in all ages before us. ~ MaSQns ~ backbone gw: fraternitx Am ~ mit 1m: lWR& As I remarked in my opening statement a few minutes ago, if we do nothing, then we must be ready to accept the responsibility of failure. If we use every moral tool afforded us through our principles and we take the step of change, we at least will be able to say to our followers, "We tried." 'Ib fail without trying, without a fight, would in my opinion, be the greatest of Masonic offenses. I will pass this way as your Grand Master but once. The finality of that is most clear to me now. What I say and do will more than likely not have a profound effect on Masonry as we know it in Idaho. But I am compelled to tell it as I see it and I use the analogy that this opportunity has been given to me for a reason. Freemasonry as we know it today and as it has been practiced for the past many centuries, must make itself applicable to the 21st century. Change for change sake would be most detrimental, but change with forethought and careful consideration, for the preservation of our Craft, is something I feel that we must consider. Let us proceed with extreme caution not to change for change sake. My Brethren, QY[ ~ leaders are tired. our Lodges need new leadership, new ideas, and new goals. Of course we are chartered to make Master Masons, and true Master Masons who know the work are the very lifeblood of our Constituent Lodges. 'Ib change our requirements and lose our proficiency in doing the work would be a true Masonic tragedy. We must, above all else, retain our proficiency. As Brother Dwight Hamilton, M.W. Grand Master of Colorado, said to me at one of our meetings this year, and I quote, "The hardest part of change is changing one's attitude toward changing." Think about that my Brethren."
sa
Grand Lodge of Indiana: "Our most urgent need is to reach the 95% of our membership who seldom, if ever, participate in any of the Lodge activities. This calls upon the leadership of each Lodge to develop a means of regular contact with the members and giving them some specific task, and asking for a report on
1990
GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI
81
each activity in a Lodge meeting, and then by presenting programs that give members reasons for wanting to attend. Each Grand Lodge function is planned to provide ideas to help the Masters and their officers to accomplish this. The lethargy that has resulted from "push button" ease for many comforts of living; instant satisfaction promised by T.V. programming; fast food or microwave dining; the "don't get involved" and spectator syndromes are formidable enemies to our task, but can be overcome if we but love and live Masonry as we have been taught. Many Lodges are having more petitions now than they have had in some time, and there is every reason to believe that we are back on the road to a more stable membership level. Inspired and vigorous leadership at all levels will determine the course and speed of this positive trend. It is our sacred duty to preserve, strengthen, and pass on to those who follow us, the rich Masonic Heritage that is ours." Three statements leap out at me from the material printed above: 1. These Masons, the backbone of our fraternity, are crying out for help." 2. "Our Lodge leaders are tired, " 3. "The lethargy..... from "push button" ease....., the "don't get involved and spectator syndromes, are formidable enemies to our task,..." The leaders are tired and crying out for help in order to effectively meet the challenges posed by our enemies - lethargy, instant satisfaction, don't get involved and spectator syndromes. What a task for the Grand Lodges to face! Many Grand Lodge jurisdictions are implementing various programs and projects which are designed to light the spark which will cause good men to join our ranks. Grand Lodge of New Hampshire "In New Hampshire there has been a membership loss of 30% since the high point in 1963, and the time has come when there is a consensus in our Lodges that action must be taken. The Solomon II Program that was adopted over four years ago was designed to produce new Masons, and although the ultimate results are considered inconclusive, we discovered that it was OK to talk to non-Masons about Freemasonry. The Friend-toFriend card is an excellent tool to be retained. We also learned that we are not overly articulate when talking about Freemasonry, and the Solomon II Program demanded too much from volunteers. Volunteers can help, but they cannot be expected to carry the entire program. Membership growth is made up of two elements: acquisition and retention. Having learned from our Solomon II experience, the acquisition phase should make full use of the electronic and print media. This part needs to be done by professionals, with an important assist by the Brethren at the local level. The retention phase is done entirely in-house, with leadership training and Masonic education programs leading the way. These programs are designed to enhance the interest and involvement of the Brethren in their Lodge and in community and charitable projects. Your support and suggestions on how to assure the success of this
82

program is appreciated as we work together this year in implementing this phase."
Grand Lodge of rninois: COMMUNITY BUlLDERtS AWARD "The Community Builder's Award is presented for recognition and appreciation to non-masons (men and women) for outstanding service to their communities. Each lodge should select at least one outstanding citizen each year as the recipient of this award. There are many hard working, dedicated men and women in your community who have served others, with no expectation of return. This is a very important part of your Grand Lodge Public Awareness Program." Report. Blood Sharing Program "The report of this Committee was given by Martin A. Compton, a member of the Committee, and was adopted. Most Worshipful Grand Master, Distinguished Guests, Officers and Brethren all:
The report of the Committee for the Illinois Blood Sharing Program from statistics furnished by Bro. Harold G. Ewing, Chairman of Lodges, indicate: The Northeastern Area had 52 Lodges participating (up 6 Lodges from 1988), 55 Lodges not participating (down 2 from 1988), they donated 385 units of blood (up 10 units from 1988) and received 57 units of blood (up 19 units from 1988). The Northern Area had 41 Lodges participating (down 18 Lodges from 1988), 86 Lodges not participating (down 15 Lodges from 1988), they donated 843 units of blood (down 2 units of blood from 1988) and received 8 units of blood (up 8 units from 1988). The Southern Area had 10 Lodges participating (down 3 Lodges from 1988), 142 Lodges not participating (down 3 Lodges from 1988), they donated 116 units of blood (down 418 units of blood from 1988), and received 3 units of blood (down 2 units of blood from 1988). The Eastern Area had 27 Lodges participating (down 2 Lodges from 1988), 118 Lodges not participating (down 1 Lodge from 1988), they donated 207 units of blood (down 122 units of blood from 1988) and received 0 units of blood (down 38 units of blood from 1988). The Western Area had 40 Lodges participating (up 1 Lodge from 1988), 109 Lodges not participating (down 3 Lodges from 1988), they donated 338 units of blood (down 45 units of blood from 1988) and received 73 units of blood (up 57 units of blood from 1988).
1990
GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI
83
A summation of the above gives 170 Lodges participating and 510 Lodges not participating. 1889 units of blood were donated and 141 units of blood were donated to members or friends of members. For any Masonic Lodge to receive blood units, our Right Worshipful Grand Secretary has said that any request received from a Lodge Secretary, written on Lodge stationery, will be honored."
Grand Lodge of Michigan: COMMUNITY RECOGNITION AWARD "We instituted this award to encourage lodges to recognize a non-Masonic member of their community for exceptional contributions and doing a little more than they really had to do. By associating this award with our Masonic Open House and most of all by naming it after someone who exemplified the true Masonic character of man, Bro. Edgar A. Guest, author, journalist, Master Mason who was known and loved as the Poet Laureate of the People, we gave added value and meaning to the award.
COMMUNITY PROJECTS We have assisted Lodges in making contributions to non-profit endeavors within their communities. Farmington Training Center and Macomb County Intermediate School District for Hearing Impaired Children were two such recipients. Farmington Lodge #151 and Macomb Lodge #64 are not ones which have sponsored scholarships. However, the awards to them were matched in the same manner as the scholarships - dollar for dollar, up to a maximum of $500.00. Should your Lodge have a community project to which you are making a contribution, or would like to do so, submit your request to the Foundation for consideration. We continue to receive requests for funds to be given to other national foundations or organizations. Members have gone on record that such requests will be denied, in that they are for the support of established charitable organizations whose scope is beyond the Lodges' community." Grand Lodge of Kansas: REPORT OF THE KANSAS MASONIC FOUNDATION, INC. "Brother Don Horttor, President of the Kansas Masonic Foundation, presented the following report, which, on his motion, was accepted. To the Most Worthy Grand Lodge ofAF & AM ofKansas: Growth has been the keystone of the Foundation this past year as we move into our 24th year of service to Kansas Masonry. Our mission continues to be the promotion of educational, scientific and charitable programs and growth of gifts and contributions, Lodge participation and interest from the Brothers has made this increasingly possible. The Kansas Masonic All-State High School Band is still the most visible and exciting program of the Foundation in cooperation with the Shrine Bowl of Kansas and Masonic organizations around the state. This past year's, sixth annual, band camp was held on the campus of Kansas State
84
PROCEEDINGS OF THE
1990
University, Manhattan, and was attended by 185 high school band students from across Kansas. Each year this unique band has grown and this was the largest ever. Students were selected and sponsored by 140 Blue Lodges, 14 Chapters of The Order of Eastern Star, 6 Shrine units, 2 Scottish Rite bodies, 2 High Twelve Clubs and 1 chapter of Royal Arch Masons. We thank you all. After four days of rigorous practice and training, the band moved to the campus of Wichita State University for the festivities of the East-West Shrine Bowl football game. They entertained at the huge Shrine Bowl banquet on Friday evening, led the great parade the next day and provided the pre-game and half time show at the Shrine Bowl game. You can all be proud of these young people who adopt the theme "For the Kids" as their motto during band camp. We remain the only All-State High School Band in all of Masonry around the world. This coming year's band camp and Shrine Bowl will be held at the University of Kansas in Lawrence and the band sponsor fee will remain at $200.00. All proceeds from the sponsor fee, above expenses, are donated to the Masonic Oncology Clinic at the KU Medical Center. Thanks to your contributions, our grant to the Kansas Masonic Oncology Clinic was increased to $120,610.00. This increase enabled the Clinic to establish a new High Risk Cancer Screening Clinic. This needed service will increase the number of people being diagnosed and treated through the generosity of Kansas Masons. Over 600 persons are seen and treated at this Clinic each month. When we successfully complete the payment of this year's grant, our total contributions since 1974 for treatment and research of cancer will exceed $966,300.00. This is indeed a tribute to Masonic charity. The "C-Club" continues to be our primary source of funding for the Oncology Clinic. Over 15,000 of our Brothers here and around the country are "C-Club" members and are gratefully recognized on the home Lodge plaque and with the "C-Club" pin. More and more we are seeing the Ruby pins, indicating contributions totalling $500.00 and Diamond pins for total gifts exceeding $1,000.00. You have the sincere thanks of the patients and staff at the Oncology Clinic. We also want to thank the more than 10,000 Brothers who responded to our Greeting Card mailing this past year. Your contributions to this appeal now exceed $50,000.00. Thanks also to the many who responded with a gift in response to the Blue Card enclosed with your dues card notices from your home Lodge. Our Student Loan program to assist young people attending Kansas Colleges and Universities, continues to grow as more learn of its availability. This past year we granted 12 new loans giving us a total of 19 students in school with Foundation loans and 30 students who have completed their studies and are repaying their loans. Many Lodges and individual Brothers and Sisters continue to remember and honor departed Brethren with LiYini Memorials established within the Foundation's permanent endowed fund. This fitting tribute is warmly acknowledged by many families with "thank yous" and is truly appreciated. The Foundation's staff has been increased with the addition of Jerry K. VanAllen, recently from Hays, and Sharon Springs, in the position of As-

sistant Director. Brother Jerry will be remembered as the Past Worthy Grand Patron, Order of Eastern Star as well as many other Masonic activities. His presence will enhance the Foundation's ability to serve Kansas Masonry. We are saddened to report the loss of three Foundation leaders since our last report. Brother Henry A. Bubb, 1bpeka, passed away in January, 1989. Brother Harold R. Fatzer passed away in September, 1989. Both of these honored Brothers served many years as Trustee, Director and Past President. Brother Marvin Covalt, Dodge City, passed away in November, 1989. Brother Marvin was serving as Trustee at his death. The dedication and leadership of each will be sorely missed." Grand Lodge of California: REPORTOFCOMMmnEEON LAYMEN'S NIGHT SPEAKERS PANEL
"Th the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge, F. & AM. ofCalifornia: Included in my allotted three minutes for this Report, I desire to pay tribute to the late Everett Houser of Long Beach, who was Grand Orator of this Grand Lodge in our 1950 Centennial Year. It was Everett Houser, as Chairman of the Lodge Resources Development Committee, who perfected the Laymen's Night Speakers Panel in 1978 as part of that Committee. In 1979 this program was given its own identity as a separate Committee. The purpose of this Committee is to provide speakers to those Lodges requesting a Laymen's Night program, to tell the story of what Freemasonry is and what it is not. The Master of the Lodge contacts the Chairman of this Committee and requests a particular date for the Program in his Lodge. A member of this Grand Lodge Committee is assigned as the speaker. The most successful programs are given adequate publicity-not only in the Lodge Trestleboard, but also in the daily press, in many cases by radio spot announcements. Each of the thirty-five members of this Committee prepares his presentation in his own way. There is no "set speech" for Committee members. Some of the items covered (but certainly not all of them) are: Not a Secret Organization Founding of Our Craft Not a Religion Not Political Not an Insurance Society No Solicitation for Members How One Becomes a Member Ladies Participation Social Activities Youth Participation Our Teachings Charities We Support Seriousness of Our Ritual Masonic Temples We are not anti any religion or anti any race, color or creed. Following the Panelist's "prepared" talk, questions are invited. Questions from the ladies seem to be the best ones! "What's in it for me?" "How much time will it take for my husband to be away from home?" "How
86
PROCEEDINGS OF THE

much does it cost?" "Why can't I become a Mason along with my husband?" Here is how we know the success of this Program: Three months after the presentation in the Lodge, a brief "Report Form" is sent to the Lodge Secretary. The key question is: "How many Applications for Degrees we submitted at the three Stated Meetings following the Laymen's Night Program that may be attributed to this Program?" Very interestingly, in recent years the total number reported by Secretaries has been within a few of 300 each year. Although our Jurisdiction loses thousands of members each year for various reasons, it would be about 300 more were it not for this program. Although many Lodges report no Applications received, many Secretaries report from 2 to 12 Applications for Degrees as a result of this Program. The popularity of this Program is evidenced by the number of Lodges having the Program each year. We started keeping records in 1981. In that year this Committee serviced 83 Lodges - 14% of our total Lodges. This year just closing we achieved an all-time high, 222 Lodges - 41 %. Senior Wardens are encouraged to plan a Laymen's Night Program under the auspices of this Committee early next year to provide time for reception and processing of Applications, elected those applicants and conferring of Degrees during your year as Master. Respectfully submitted, IRVING A. BERLINER, Chairman As we have seen, many worthwhile programs have been set into motion. The results of these projects as to the affect on membership and awareness of our fraternity within our communities must be monitored. One exciting project is spreading throughout our jurisdictions. That project is the prevention of drug and alcohol abuse among children.
PREVENTION OF DRUG AND ALCOHOL ABUSE AMONG CHaDREN Grand Lodge of Washington: REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON TIlE MASONIC FOUNDATION FOR TIlE PREVENTION OF DRUG AND ALCOHOL ABUSE AMONG CHILDREN To the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Washington:
This year has found our committee very active in many areas and with many of our goals achieved. A letter of encouragement was sent to all the Lodges; 1. to reinforce the need for them to appoint a drug committee consisting of one or more members.
1990
GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI

2. to encourage the committee to become interactive with the established drug awareness programs in their community, and to let them know that we will help support them with manpower and financially. Community involvement is most important if we are to become an effective entity to the solution of the prevention of drug use among the children of this great State of Washington. 3. to keep the Lodge advised as to what their Drug Committee is doing to gain the confidence and support from the members. 4. to make contact with the Grand Lodge Committee person in their District for additional information and support from the Grand Lodge Committee, and to encourage communications. Many of the Lodges in the State have responded in a positive way to the above suggestions, and they have established committees within their own Lodges to engage actively in their communities in support of existing prevention programs. Other Lodges are having programs at Stated or Special meetings to show support for the youth and to show their community involvement. More effort and action within the Lodges, who have not met the challenge, are needed to increase our overall effectiveness. The Committee has attempted to distribute twenty-five thousand pamphlets from the National Masonic Foundation for the Prevention of Drug and Alcohol Abuse Among Children to all Lodges, either by personally attending Lodge meetings or District meetings. Good reception of these pamphlets was noted and good input given. The pamphlets portray the urgency of the challenge to the Masonic Fraternity to be part of the preventive aspect of the anti-drug program. Our help in the solution is the education of all children from the ages of five through seventeen so they will be knowledgeable concerning the ill effects of drugs and thus be helped in the prevention of chemical dependency. Any program working with children and aimed at prevention of chemical dependency truly holds the probability of fundamentally improving the health and future of our nation and creates opportunity for assuring future healthy and responsible adults and parents. Freemasonry's Role "Freemasonry teaches us that our children represent our immortality, that though we may die and return to the earth from whence we came, our children must continue our good works after our passing. That which threatens our children, therefore, threatens our immortality, and nothing today more directly threatens our children than drugs." So wrote a Masonic group recently in establishing its Committee on Alcohol and Drug Education for Youth. Recognizing the long-term nature of the problem and its solution, Freemasons decided in 1986 to concentrate resources on prevention, on educating the children of America to try to break the chain of addiction in a positive way, working to save tomorrow's adults. As a result, the National Masonic Foundation for the Prevention of Drug and Alcohol Abuse Among Children, Inc., headquartered in Washington, D.C., has been established. The work waiting to be done may relate to nothing less than our survival as a free and healthy society.

Foundation strategy for the immediate future is two-fold: (1) 1b work with each of the States in establishing a program designed to reach young people through the State educational and health systems and (2) to identify and assist individual private prevention programs that are now showing success. Freemasons believe that strength of family, community and country rests with those of strong convictions, sound ethical and moral values and devotion to our system of government. With understanding and patience, the hallmarks of charity's deepest meaning, Freemasonry is committed to providing the support, encouragement and enlightenment that our nation's youth today so sorely need. In respect to the direct contact and communications with the State of Washington's elected and appointive officials, we now have assurance that our part in the establishing of Student Assistance Programs throughout the State is forthcoming, and that the support and assistance of the Grand Lodge is welcome. Mr. Paul Dziedzio, Executive Assistant in Governor Booth Gardner's office, and Dr. Templin, Director of Prevention and Early Intervention, Bureau of Alcohol and Substance Abuse, have been very helpful in this matter. Progress along this line of endeavor will manifest itself by a training session being completed this year. This will provide training for up to fifty teachers and core people from the School Districts for a period of five days in the prevention of drug and alcohol use among children. The first third of the week is normally devoted to the crucial process of learning to identify the kinds of behavior which characterize an at-risk, or possibly using, child. This is frequently less difficult than it may seem at first. There are specific behaviors which, alone, may indicate nothing other than a normal or temporary adolescent problem. These same behaviors, when present as a collective set or pattern of a particular kind, will indicate trouble of a deeper kind. Due to the recent decade-long attention to the growing problem of chemical deperidency among youth, a great deal of understanding has been gained on identifying which young persons may have a drug abuse problem and even which young person may be headed for a problem. The middle part of the week will be spent on learning the elements which make up a Student Assistance Program, including the informal to formal intervention system. The final part of the week is spent on practice sessions designed to simulate real events. Throughout the week, informative lectures are interspersed describing pharmacological effects of drugs, the family nature of the disease of alcoholism, suicide risk identification and prevention, and so forth. What is the role of a Grand Lodge in supporting such a program? It should be strongly emphasized at this point that while Freemasonry can be instrumental in providing crucial moral support and in sharing financial assistance for such an effort Masons do not actually operate the program, nor even design the program. There are plenty of people who already have the expertise and experience to work on drug and alcohol dependency among children, people who are ready, able and willing to do so, if they only have the necessary support. This is not to ignore, however,
1990
GRAND LOOOE OF MISSOURI
89
that existing Student Assistance Programs have had the personal involvement of individual Freemasons who volunteered time and helped in a great variety of roles. Typically, the role of Freemasonry has been to provide any or all of (1) some initial organizing help, (2) sharing of finances, (3) arrangement for facilities, and, most importantly, (4) a continuing positive presence. The role of the Grand Lodge will be to select the facility where the training will take place and suitable lodging for those participating. The State will provide the professional instructors and the course contents. Although many Masons are involved in counseling and working in drug programs, the State Department of Education and the State Department of Social and Health Services will determine the mode of instruction. The members of the Drug Abuse Foundation Committee wish to say thanks for the opportunity to be a part of this very important program, and for the help and assistance by the members of the Lodges in accomplishing their goals. We feel assured that one Lodge and one Mason can make a difference! Respectfully submitted, ED HELLAND DAVID HUTCHINSON FRANCIS M. RICHARDSON SHERMAN RICHMOND GARY STERNER EXTENDED COMMITTEE

Grand Lodge of New York: COMMI'ITEE ON DRUG AND ALCOHOL ABUSE
TO THE GRAND LODGE: Our Committee, in conjunction with the New York State Department of Education and the New York State Division of Substance Abuse Service, has been working diligently to initiate a Drug and Alcohol Abuse Program that would provide an additional resource in the network of services that already exist. It was determined that with increased knowledge and skills, concerned citizens could offer valuable assistance to their communities' efforts. We met with these New York State agencies at the Masonic Home in Utica in October 1988 to establish a new program that would be a prototype of community involvement called C.O.P.E. (Community Organized for Prevention Effort). The County of Herkimer was selected to be the first community to participate in the C.O.~E. project. The key element of C.O.P.E. is the organization of a five-day training seminar for a "team" from the community composed of a broad cross section of civil servants, representatives of service agencies, and communityinvolved citizens, i.e., Masons. We will provide the facility for these sessions and meals at the Masonic Home in Utica with housing at local motels. The State will furnish the instructors and the material for the course.

At the conclusion of this course, the trainees will return to their communities with a designed program to be implemented as a new resource in this fight at a grass-roots level. It is our expectation that when the pilot program in Herkimer is concluded, it will be expanded to other communities. We are in the process of duplicating a New York State booklet, Building a Drug Free Community Through Prevention. It is filled with specific suggestions of ways that our "Masonic Family" can take an active role in this fight. The booklet will be first distributed to all the Masters of the Lodges and the Grand Lodge Committeemen. We thank the Grand Master for the privilege of serving Grand Lodge and our communities in the fight against Drug and Alcohol Abuse. Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM PERLMAN, Chairman ARTHUR J.

Grand Lodge of Connecticut: To the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge AR & AM. ofConnecticut:
For the past year, the Committee on Education Against Drug and Alcohol Abuse, has continued its efforts to bring alternatives to the attention of young people, before they become involved with the menace of addiction. "Rob the Drummer," stage name for Brother Robert L. Gottfried of Level Lodge No. 137, has appeared under Masonic auspices in West Hartford and Waterford, and is scheduled for a 9:00 A.M. program at Western Junior High School in Greenwich. It is the hope of this Committee that this initial step will continue with presentations of this popular program with the support of local Lodges in local schools. The validated response of the young people makes this effort an important part of the total program of education to which the Committee is dedicated. A second front attack has been established with the proposed inauguration of a series of training programs to establish Student Assistant Support Teams throughout the State. Under this program individuals associated with a School District, that is teachers, Guidance Counselors, Nurses, etc., would be trained in the proper methods identifying and aiding the 'at risk' student. Any student, identified as a victim of abuse, emotional stress, possible drug/alcohol experimentation, or any other suspected problems, may be referred to a Student Assistant Team which is trained to work with the problem and develop solutions. To establish such a program, your Committee is working with the State Board of Education and has begun to seek out School Districts which, rec-

ognizing the need for such work, are interested in working with us to establish this training program. Masonic efforts include financial support, individual Lodge participation and, in some instances, team participation by qualified Brothers. While the effort must begin with a small nucleus (estimated at about 25-30 individuals), as the 'Irainee becomes the Trainer, the program will expand with Statewide participation our ultimate goal. The scourge of drug and alcohol abuse is evident in every walk of life. The increase in personal violence, parental abuse and emotional sickness can be quickly traced to this enemy of our American way of life. We have an opportunity to be in the thick of the war against further expansion and the challenge is before us. Obviously, such work will require continued funding by our Grand Lodge. But, as we take this important step, we urge a renewed and continuing effort of support from all Connecticut Lodges in the months ahead. Respectfully and fraternally submitted, W.B. JOHN B.

SCHREYER Great work is being accomplished with the committees on Drug and Alcohol Abuse in the various jurisdictions. This could be the motivation for more good men to become interested in joining our fraternity. If we are to survive we must dream and bring into reality projects that grab the attention of our present and prospective members. The Grand Orator of the Grand Lodge of Texas commented on the need to dream:
Grand Lodge of Texas: DON'T BE AFRAID TO DREAM "Not to dream of what Masonry was or what Masonry is now But what Masonry gm bJ:l. Now most men don't like to be called "Dreamers" (although most great leaders are)... So we must use the word goal. ...and we won't even tell them a goal is just a dream with a deadline. Goals require pride of project and unity of purpose. Goals can be punctured and side-tracked by negative thinking. A dream, like a fragile balloon, can be punctured by the thorns of nega-

tivism, and I quote the poet, Langston Hughes, who said: "Hold fast to dreams For if dreams die Life is a broken-winged bird That cannot fly. Hold fast to dreams For when dreams go Life is a barren field Frozen with snow."
As stated by the Grand Orator of Texas above, dreams (goals) "can be punctured by the thorns of negativism..." The Grand Lodge of Washington put forth Amended Resolution No. 89-7 as a dream (goal) to reverse their membership decline. It is as follows:
Grand Lodge of Washington: AMENDED RESOLUTION NO. 89-7 To Face Up to our Membership Decline "To the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Washington: Statement 2f Purpose. 'lb require decisions to be made regarding actions and changes designed to stop the decline of membership. Resolution. Whereas, membership in the Grand Lodge of Washington declined from almost 70,000 in 1960 to 37,000 in 1988, a decline of approximately 45% in 28 years, not counting the 1,800 members transferred to the Grand Lodge of Alaska, and Whereas, the membership declined an average of 3.4% each year from January, 1984, to January, 1988, (an average loss of 1,350 members per year) showing that the rate of decline is accelerating, and Whereas, roughly 75% of the decline is caused by the shortage of newly-raised Masons to replace our older Brothers who are passing on, and the other 25% is caused by NPD's who fail to reinstate, and Whereas, roughly 185 of those who received the First Degree are dropping out prior to enrollment, and Whereas, if the present rate of decline continues, our membership will be half its present number in less than 20 years from now, and Whereas, this trend of losses is a serious threat to our Fraternity, and Whereas, this decline will continue if no serious and substantial actions are taken and changes made to stop it. Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved, that the Grand Master be requested to appoint a Committee on Membership Decline. This Committee shall (1) invite comments and study seriously the following listed proposed actions and changes along with others it may wish to add, and (2) report to the Grand Lodge its reasons as to why each of the following proposals should or should not be implemented as a step toward stopping the membership decline. Reasons such as "It's against the Code," or "It's never been done," or "It's been tried and it didn't work" are not sufficient reasons for reporting against a proposal.

PrQOOsals路 1. Detennine factually if and to what extent Masonry is acceptable or not acceptable to today's society. Then take action to correct whatever deficiencies in this regard are found to exist. 2. Encourage proper selective solicitation of men who would be good Masons. 3. Determine factually what men expect of Masonry when they join, then act to fulfill these expectations to reduce dropouts. 4. Assign a Brother who is proficient in the Work to each newly-elected Candidate who will coach him, stay with him, encourage him, keep him company, and provide him with fellowship for at least a year. 5. Keep in touch with dropouts. Invite them to pleasant infonnal meetings to learn from them what their problems are and to personally encourage them to attend Lodge when possible and continue their work of becoming proficient. Follow the same line of action with NPD's. 6. Reduce the proficiency requirements for a Mason to become a member in good standing. Retain the present requirements for those who wish to become Lodge officers. 7. Hold Stated Communications in the First Degree so that Entered Apprentices and Fellowcraft Masons may participate in Lodge actions and business. 8. Shorten the Stated Communications and hold fewer of them. Reduce the time spent on introductions. Limit discussions on matters that can be handled by committees. Begin or end each meeting with a festive board. 9. Replace some of the Stated Communications with Table Lodges or informal meetings with interesting speakers or programs. Increase the fellowship. Allow the consumption of alcohol at refreshments as the Canadian Lodges do. Remember that the first cardinal virtue is Temperance, not abstinence. 10. Increase the managerial knowledge and capabilities of Lodge Officers by instituting a managerial course which each Lodge Officer must pass prior to his election as Junior Warden, such course to include instruction on how to conduct interesting meetings. 11. Replace District Meetings with Quarterly Grand Lodge Communications so that each Brother in good standing will have an increased interest and voice in Grand Lodge affairs, and each Grand Lodge Officer will have a greater opportunity to hear from more Brothers. 12. Have each Lodge raise its dues and fees to the point where there will be no building maintenance problems which cause worry and require Lodge work parties. 13. Raise the per capita tax to the point where the Grand Lodge can hire a public relations expert or agency to provide effective publicity about the Craft. 14. Institute a major charity which will have an impact on the public and give it extensive publicity. Respectfully submitted, ROBERT H. DECKER, P.M. (160) HERMAN W. SCHODDE, P.M. (198)

Respectfully submitted, JEFFERSON J. ENSWORTH ARTHUR S. THOMAS JOHN D. LAWSON ALBERT N. BRADFORD WARREN J. GILBERT, JR., Committee Report received: RESOLUTION REJECTED." As must be noted, the proposed resolution was rejected. Also, it must be noted that the Grand Lodge of Washington's membership decreased 1,354 from 1987 to 1989. How many members do we have to lose before we ~ resolutions that face up to our membership decline?
CONCLUSIONS This report contained information on membership statistics which showed a membership decline of 81,291 nationwide. Also, charts from the Masonic Renewal Task Force were included which indicated that the vast majority of eligible candidates have absolutely no interest in joining our fraternity and that our members state that time requirements keep them from attending their Lodge. Information was provided that showed that our Lodge leaders are tired and crying out for help in order to meet the challenges of declining membership. We reviewed certain projects aimed at increasing public awareness and which provide valuable services to the community; the most valuable and exciting project was the prevention of drug and alcohol abuse among children. The importance of setting goals (having dreams) was examined with the apparent failure in Washington. Considering all of the above, I remain optimistic! I believe our Fraternity will eventually take the necessary steps to insure our survival. The dis-

The Long Range Planning Committee met on Aug. 11, 1990 in Columbia at the Grand Lodge Office, with members of the ad hoc Missouri Masonic Renewal Task Force also in attendance. The main objective of the meeting was to familiarize the Committee with plans for the 1990-91 lodge year in regard to long range planning, and to present a proposed Public Relations Committee program that will focus on statewide efforts to promote selective invitation to membership in the Fraternity. It is obvious that professional guidance is needed to assist the Fraternity in both long range planning and membership renewal, and both of these objectives find common ground in the Long Range Planning Committee and the Missouri Masonic Renewal Task Force. In addition to discussing objectives of public relations and membership renewal, the combined group discussed the financial demands that such programs entail. Fraternally Submitted, C.

Due to illness of one of the officers, the Board held only one meeting during the past year. Most other activities were also limited. The Annual Meeting will be held in October of this year at which time there will be an election of officers. The Board was fortunate to have only one request for financial assistance during the past year. This was met with no problems. There were only two requests for courtesy Masonic Funeral Services. These were handled in the proper manner. It is noted that Masonic Funeral Services for our departed Brethren are becoming less and less. This is somewhat a serious problem.

REPORT OF THE MASONIC EDUCATION COMMITTEE To The Grand Lodge AR & AM. ofMissouri:
The 1989-90 Grand Lodge year has been one of unqualified success for your Committee on Masonic Education and the program it has promoted. That program has been built on a triad of development issues which, when taken singly or as a group, have at their heart viability, usability, and above all, reliability. They have stood (and continue to stand) the most serious and unflinching of tests - that of time - and have 1lQt been found wanting. The program so proudly and properly described is, as you all k.nmY., clustered around functions, not functionaries, around success stories, not simply successful people, around leadership, not solely leaders. In short, this program has a life of its own and is n2t one which simply lives. Unlike programs of the past and yet much like any other successful programs, ours is catalogued by measurable divisions within the whole. It is our privilege to highlight, for the record, those divisions. The first of our living programs is not only the most senior, but one around which the others have clustered. This has been done not only because the Achievement Award is the oldest, but because the award is open-ended in its opportunity to be ~ for the betterment of the constituent Lodges we all seek to serve. Far more important to all of us, however, is the fact that the Achievement Award is leadership development "by doing" and it is now (as it has been for fifteen years) a continual success. This session we will, for the first time, offer awards to District Education Officers with 100% Achievement Awards districts. We intend that this shall become a fixture of our presentation at the Grand Lodge and (like the list of winners itself) continue to get longer! This program has been under the able direction of R.W. Brother Dick Smith. Dick continues to bring his especial talents to the fore and the Committee and its Chairman would be lost without his sincerity and loyalty. The District Education Officer Workshop has seen its second successful completion. We are, as a committee, honored that this program (wholly developed within the committee and spearheaded by W.B. Dick Nelms) has been completely adapted by the Grand Lodge in a special committee for the 1990-91 Grand Lodge year. It has been said that "imitation is the surest sign of flattery" and this committee wishes the program that it generated well in its new form. Even in its new form, however, the District Education Officer MIl receive special instruction in those responsibilities. The Committee and indeed the Grand Lodge is indebted to Brother Nelms for his most important contribution in this area and that is that we will continue to develop the District Education Officer's leadership skills to help ~ continue to develop ~ in their districts. The Lodge Education Officer Program has recently been assigned to W.B. Zel Eaton. Zel has among his many other attributes, an ability to work with computers and people to both of their mutual advantage and capabilities. TIlls exceptional program (started in 1984 by M.W. Brother Vern Schneider) has been successful to be sure up to this point, but it will truly "blossom" when Zel works it in earnest. Its opportunities for great
1990

success lie in the melding together of District Education Officers, Worshipful Masters and Lodge Education Officers into a special "Action Team". Our greatest single achievement over the past four years and our greatest potential for success in the next four is the Working ~ g! Leadership (years I-IV) and Leadership - Iwlu JmslIoU ~ fswIl. R.W. Brother Tom McCully and his Action 'learn have literally done yoeman ~ in taking the collective ideas of this committee and harnessing them into action and sending them into the trenches of Lodge Leaders-where they are needed the most. The Committee, and indeed this Grand Lodge, owe these brethren a debt of gratitude for their tireless effort. Over a four year period we spent $24,000 on a program that, under other circumstances, would have cost at least 2 to 3 times more. We now, for 1990-91, move into the implementation phase of our 10 point program. In the years 1986-89 we identified ten leadership concepts. Over the next four years we will implement those four concepts. Brothers Nelms and McCully are developing a total program using appropriate Video and Slides for each of the four sections. Additionally, we will use the Lodge Officers Manual (with appropriate updates) as the text. Hence brethren, you can see we are using all we have developed over the last four years to the fullest. An additional cheerful duty of this committee is the publishing of the Freemason Magazine. Would all our "duties" be so cheerful and successful! This committee and its chairman are in the debt of our exceptional Editor M.W. Brother Jack Montgomery. God has given him many attributes but editing is one of those which Jack has taken very nearly to an art form! We thank you for the care and assiduity which you give this assignment. Your Committee encourages you all to do two other things - first, join the Lodge of Research. True Masonic Education comes in many forms - do n2t neglect this ~! Second - pass by our booth outside the session. In addition to meeting the fine brethren who serve on the Committee, you'll see the many fine books, etc. which we have for sale. At the booth especially make the acquaintance of W.B. Scott Grantham. You'll find his wit mld salesmanship outstanding. To serve 2Il this committee is indeed to participate in the development (both on-going and changing) of the very ~ of this Grand Lodge. For if there are no successful ~ in this organization, there can not be for long B.DX fraternity worthy of the name. We continue to address ourselves to that task. To those brethren who make our program continue to be viable, we say thanks. This includes (but is not limited to) Grand Master Warden, Grand Secretary Alexander, the line officers, and R.W. Brother John Wetzel. Thank you for allowing us to continue to serve you.

REPORT OF THE PUBLIC RELATIONS COMMI'I*I'EE 7b the Grand Lodge ofAncient Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Missouri:
Your Committee on Public Relations met twice. In an effort to enhance public relations programming, the committee: 1) developed a mission and objectives; 2) defined current activities; 3) analyzed current and potential new member markets; 4) conducted a comparative analysis; 5) developed specific action plans. Research findings from Phase I and Phase II of the Masonic Renewal Task Force was used to support the analysis of market and demographic trends. Public relations materials and ideas from other Jurisdictions was reviewed. Demographic, psychographic and other market research data was also considered. Consequently, the Committee focused on marketing, with public relations as one element. As a result of these efforts, the Committee developed a comprehensive Public Relations and Marketing Plan, which was submitted to the Grand Master for consideration. This plan included a multi-media approach, focusing on local community leadership and visibility. A public relations intern at the Grand Lodge Office, a Lodge PR Kit, Lodge PR recognition programs, a community service award program and professionally designed ad slicks were also included in the plan. The net result was a market-driven public relations campaign, designed to be tailored to meet the needs of each lodge. In other actions, the Committee reviewed several ideas submitted by Brethren and others for possible public relations value. Fraternally submitted, GARY A. LABRANCHE, Chairman P.

REPORT OF THE RITUAL COMMITrEE 7b The Grand Lodge AR & AM. ofMissouri: BRETHREN:
Your Committee on Ritual met with the Grand Lodge officers on January 13, 1990 at the Grand Lodge office in Columbia, Missouri. The purpose of that meeting was to explore ways on which all could agree, with regard to those things that might encourage new persons to petition for membership. All agreed we have a problem attracting new
102
PROCEEDINGS OF THE

members among those young men who know nothing or very little about Freemasonry. We discussed also ritual requirements that have been presented as an obstacle for those who want to come into our fellowship. No clear evidence is available to indicate that any other jurisdiction has the solution to declining membership whatever the ritual requirement. This year the committee, by directive of the last Grand Lodge session, was instructed to prepare a coded manual covering the proficiency of the three degrees. The code was completed by the middle of January and placed in the hands of the printer at that time. By the last of February, a number of manuals had been sent to those requesting them and, after several mistakes were found the corrected form was sent to them. Your committee met again at the Grand Lodge office in Columbia on May 5, 1990 to discuss ritual and ritualistic matters. No requests having been made to the committee regarding questions of ritual, we discussed the manner in which ritual had been taught over the years and all matters were resolved among the members present. At 2:00 o'clock that afternoon, we had the annual state round robin with the seven area winners competing for the state trophy. Those brethren were: Gary G. Page, Bolivar; Mike Armstrong, Kansas City; John Overbey, California; Charles C. Smith, Jr., Kansas City; John E. Chipman, Fenton; Robert Plummer, St. Louis; Charles Benedict, St. Louis. The winner after a long and hard fought battle of concentration, was Worshipful Brother Gary G. Page of Bolivar. We wish to thank our Grand Secretary and his office staff for their work in keeping the records and issuing the certificates in the certificate plan. The list of names of the brethren who have received certificates this past year in subdivisions I, II and III will be listed in the Proceedings as a part of this report.

SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT TO RITUAL COMMI'ITEE
Grand Lodge AR & AM. ofMissouri: BRETHREN:
My report to the Grand Lodge was sent to our Grand Secretary on August 18, 1990 so it could be printed for this Grand Lodge Session. After I had mailed it, I was notified that one of the members of our Ritual Committee had died and his funeral was on Augsut 22, 1990. The brother was R.W. Brother Ronnie L. House of Mansfield, A long time member and a very devoted Ritualist. Ronnie served on the Ritual Committee with our late Brother Freelon K. Hadley for three years and served on the Committee with me for fifteen years. Ronnie served as District Deputy Grand Lecturer under Freelon K. Hadley for fourteen years and with me for thirteen years for a total of twenty-seven years. His knowledge of our Ritual was very keen and until the very end kept himself very proficient in all of the work. His service was always given beyond the usual and whenever asked to help with degree work no matter how far away, he could always be depended upon to follow through. At the five third degree conferrals that our Grand Lodge officers performed in the five different locations in the state of Missouri Right Worshipful Brother House was in attendance and did his assigned part with his usual excellent ritual. As a tribute to R.W. Bro. House there were present almost one hundred freemasons from all areas of the state representing every branch of masonry. All present, including those outside the fraternity were impressed with the flawless ceremony given by R.W. Bro. Pat McFarland. The chapel was unable to accommodate the many friends, fellow fireman, and church members as well as masonic brethren who paid him tribute by their presence. None of us know the hour or the day when we shall be called home but if we live a life of service as did our Brother Ronnie, then we can expect to hear those welcome words "well done thou good and faithful servant. Enter thou into the joys of the Lord." Fraternally submitted, STANTON T. BROWN, Chairman RONNIE L. HOUSE DENNIS L. HAMMACK DALE A. LUDWIG DR. J. EDWARD BLINN, ~G.M. MARVIN G. SHULL

REPORT OF THE YOUTH COMMITrEE
To The Grand Lodge AR & AM ofMissouri: The Committee on Youth has continued to actively support and promote advancement of Masonry in Missouri through the support of our youth organizations. Again this year, the Grand Master's Masonic Youth Award has been one of our primary projects. Numerous young men and women were recommended by their local chapters, bethels, and assemblies. Each of the young people that were recommended were possessed of impeccable qualifications. Our Grand Master was placed in the difficult and unenviable position of narrowing the selections to one from each of the youth organizations. After considerable contemplation the following recipients were selected: Rebecca Burt of Springfield, Missouri from the Order of Rainbow for Girls, Brigitte Michelle Smith of Fenton, Missouri from the Order of Job's Daughters, and Rodney Kleine of Freedom Chapter Order of DeMolay. These three young people who received the award are truly representative of the teachings of their respective organizations. Additionally, during this last year work has continued on modifying the slide program on Masonry for presentation to all youth groups. The slide program has been presented and well received in several areas around the State and is available upon request. Your Committee considers the opportunity to work with these youth groups and the Grand Lodge a privilege and a joy. For this opportunity we are extremely grateful. These young people are our lifeblood and the chance to impress and to encourage them should never be allowed to go by the wayside.

REPORT OF THE DISTRICT DEPUTY GRAND MASTERS DEVELOPMENT COMMI'I'I'EE 1b the Grand Lodge ofMissouri, AR & AM ofMissouri: BRETHREN:
The first year of the District Deputy Grand Masters Development Committee, was used to formulate plans for implementation and start up activities of the committee in 1991, in coordination with Deputy Grand Master Cole. The focus of this committee for the foreseeable future is to establish the

District Deputies as a more active part of the management of the fraternity. Our idea of the capacity in which the District Deputies should operate, is that of a district manager; to assume a greater responsibility in accomplishing the Grand Lodge Long Range Plans and programs. Our hope is to allow the Deputies to be more than simply a carrier of the messages and plans of the Grand Lodge; they should be charged individuals with the ambition and authority to ensure that the objectives will be met, the goals achieved. Effort will begin this year with a state-wide meeting to be held on October 6, 1990 in Jefferson City. At this meeting detailed plans and specific goals and objectives will be communicated.

REPORT OF THE GEORGE WASHINGTON MASONIC NATIONAL MEMORIAL COMMITrEE To the Grand Lodge ofMissouri, AR & AM. ofMissouri: The Committee has had no direct communications from the Memorial this year. However, the Cornerstone Campaign is still in progress and deserves to be well supported. This Campaign asks that every Master Mason in the United States make a one-time contribution of $5.00 to the Memorial so that a permanent endowment fund can be established to provide for perpetual maintenance of this Memorial to George Washington, the Mason. It is also an excellent show-case for Freemasonry in all its various aspects. If you have not yet made your contribution to this worthy cause, don't delay -- do it today!! If you are looking for project for your Lodge, consider the George Washington Masonic National Memorial Cornerstone Campaign, and adopt a special activity to raise funds for this Campaign. All possible help and support is needed. All contributions may be mailed to: The Cornerstone Campaign Michael J.

REPORT OF TIlE GRAND LODGE CHARITY COMMITrEE To the Grand Lodge ofMissouri, AR & AM : BRETHREN:
During the Grand Lodge year 1989-1990 five requests were received for assistance from your Grand Lodge Disaster Relief Fund. R.W Brother Robert L. Hudson, D.D.G.M. - Dist. 31, reported tornado damage in the California, Missouri area on June 7, 1990. Five families were severely affected with heavy damage to buildings on their farms. The Committee approved $2,000 for assistance and a check was written to R.W. Brother Hudson on June 11, 1990. California Lodge No. 183 supplemented this amount by $300. The funds were distributed at California Lodge to the victims of the tornado. Information was received at the Grand Lodge Office on May 22, 1990, of tornado damage in the Rogersville, Missouri area. The committee approved and a check was forwarded in the amount of $5,000 that day to R.W. Brother Richard F. Hays, Worshipful Master of Henderson Lodge No. 477 at Rogersville, Missouri. R.W. Albert L. Yocum, D.D.G.M.-Dist. 13, informed the Grand Lodge that Brookfield Lodge No. 86 had suffered damage due to the collapse of the roof. He requested assistance from the Committee to assist Brookfield Lodge. The Committee denied the request, reasoning that Section 3.110 could not be interpreted to allow such expenditures. The Committee approved $10,000 for relief from hurricane Hugo in South Carolina. A check for aforesaid amount was forwarded to the Grand Lodge of South Carolina on September 29, 1989. The Committee approved $10,000 for relief from earthquake damage in California. A check was forwarded to the Grand Lodge of California on October 26, 1989. The Committee approved the expenditure of $27,000 from available funds during the year 1989-1990. Fraternally submitted, C. WARDEN, Grand Master Chairman of the Committee THOMAS
REPORT OF TIlE INSURANCE COMMITrEE To The Grand Lodge AR & AM. ofMissouri: Since the last Grand Lodge session, we have once again renewed the comprehensive package of insurance with The Travelers Insurance Company. Throughout the year as various constituent lodges have desired clarification of coverage or have been required to make claim losses, those have been referred to the Committee through the offices of the Grand Secretary and in turn have been answered by the Committee or the Grand Lodge insurance brokerage, Chapman-Sander Insurance.
PROCEEDINGS OF THE
116
1990
In May of 1990 the Committee prepared a package of infonnation, at the request of the Grand Master, to help answer reoccurring questions relative to the insurance program. The information presented not only coverage information, but also included an up-to-date statement of claims made under the program and amounts paid on said claims. The Committee anticipates recommending a renewal of The Travelers Insurance Company plan and will provide the per capita rate for coverage to the Grand Lodge session for their consideration. The type of claims made and the amounts paid under the program to date are as follows: Paraphernalia - roofleaked on piano........................ $ 350.00 Paraphernalia - roof collapsed from snow................ $ 9,703.00 Liability - member fell on piece of cabbage............... $ 418.33 Crime - theft of money from members' car trunk..... $ 70.00 Paraphernalia - roof caved in $10,266.21 Paraphernalia - building burned............................... $ 3,328.60 * Liability - rock flew from mower & broke windshield $ 100.00路 *still open The above report is respectfully and fraternally submitted. I. TOYBES, Chairman Insurance Committee Grand Lodge of Missouri STEVEN
Supplemental Report of Insurance Committee
To The Grand Lodge AR and A.M. ofMissouri: The quote that the committee received from the Traveler's Insurance Company to continue the policy is a reduction in the per capita to 81 cents per member. The committee recommends that the Grand Lodge accept this quote and that the policy with Travelers be continued. Fraternally submitted STEVEN I. TOYBES, Chairman ROGER L. GROB DAVID SWEENEY
REPORT OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOL COMMITrEE To the Grand Lodge A.R & AM. ofMissouri: Last year our committee took an aberration from our Historical Report regarding separation of church and state and urged the formation of Masonic-related youth groups in our public secondary schools and in higher education. This remains a concern again this year along with other issues. The casual student of Freemasonry cannot help but observe the predominance of "threes" in all our work. We have the three great virtues,
1990
GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI
117
faith, hope and charity, along with brotherly love, relief and truth, three degrees in the Blue Lodge, three Ancient Grand Masters, three lights and the great Holy Trinity. So, in keeping with a triad, our report this year wi11 consist of three distinct parts: (1) What we can and should do for the public school students. (2) What these students can do for Freemasonry. (3) What developments in the issue of church-state separation (and public funding of church-related schools) have occurred since the August, 1989 report. I. Freemasonry is more than a belief in one God. It is, in and of itself, an education. It is no coincidence that the distinct steps are entitled degrees. All of us agreed to pass proficiencies as a condition of our election to the brotherhood. Our ability to pass the proficiency determines whether we advance. We therefore have much in common with the serious students in our public schools. Two distinct threats, however, impair these students: (1) Alcohol and drug abuse. (2) A drop out rate of at least 25% possibly from peer pressure or economic restraints.
It behooves local lodges to develop a close relationship with our secondary schools to provide education and incentives to abstain from alcohol and drugs, and to complete the minimum essential -- a high school diploma. Masonic sponsored youth organizations such as Order of DeMolay, Order of the Rainbow and Job's Daughters are national conduits for these efforts. But unless Blue Lodges take the initiative to ameliorate these problems, we can find ourselves reflecting on the Shakespearean quote from Julius Caesar in the August 1990 Kni.glll Templar, "the fault, dear Brutus, lies not in the stars, but in ourselves."
II. The natural conduits referenced in part 1 lead us quite naturally to the segment on what public school students can do for Freemasonry. There has not been appreciable growth in lodge membership even though the youth organizations flourish. Clearly our future rests in the young persons now attending public schools. The Masonic co11egian organization founded at Northeast Missouri State University continues to seek expansion to campuses in other states principally from contacts members developed at state DeMolay convocations. As written last year, it is suggested that this co11egiate group be expanded into junior and senior high schools. These groups would be compatible with the equal access principle defined by Congress that provides that public schools with an open forum may not exclude student groups on the basis of emphasis or practice of religion. If founded, these groups wi11 naturally be mutually beneficial. They wi11 provide the pool of candidates for our future lodge members and officers. Without this new pool, the inevitable is a further eroding of lodge membership.

III. Last year Dr. Wamble called our attention to Riyarde Ya &m& gf Missouri. This lawsuit filed in federal court in Kansas Ci~ sought tuition grants and transportation costs in the form of vouchers so children in public school districts could attend private church related schools. Dr. Wamble's update on this and other related church-state issues follows: The federal court in Kansas City dismissed, as non-germaine to the desegregation case in Kansas City, the voucher plan which we reported to the Grand Lodge last year. However, Oregon is currently headed for a vote on a proposed amendment to the constitution, proposed by an initiative petition, to create a voucher plan to finance public, private, and church related education. If the Oregon voters approve the amendment, there may be efforts in other states with the initiative petition, including Missouri, to do a similar thing. In the U.S. Congress are numerous bills which, if passed, would provide aid from the public treasury to church related schools, parents, students, and teachers. Some of these bills are: Excellence in American Education (S. 695), National and Community Service Act (S.1430), National Service Act (H.R. 4330), and Equity and Excellence in Education (H.R. 5115). The Early Childhood and Development Bill (H.R. 3), pertaining to child care, also contains provisions to benefit church-run child care services either directly or indirectly. Thus, there are persistent pressures to relax or overthrow the provisions of the First Amendment, which we commonly call separation of church and state.

REPORT OF THE RECOGNITION OF FOREIGN GRAND LODGES COMMITtEE To The Grand Lodge Ali: & AM. ofMissouri: BRETHREN:
The Committee on Recognition of Foreign Grand Lodges has been ably informed by Grand Secretary Alexander of his contacts with Grand Lodges around the world. By this means and personal contacts, we have been in touch with many Grand Lodges. The Commission on Information for Recognition for the Conference of Grand Masters, has been reviewed with much interest. We have also
1990
GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI
119
learned from personal contacts with brethren in Europe that Freemasonry is undergoing radical changes in that part of the world. Nothing at this point has been done to open Lodges in Eastern Germany, but considerable activity has been witnessed in Austria and Hungary. We anticipate more activity in this area. It is also our information that new Lodges are being instituted in Portugal and Spain. The Grand Lodge of Missouri has also received a request for recognition from the Grande Loge de Cote D'ivoire or Grand Lodge of the Ivory Coast. The Commission on Recognition stated that "the Commission is of the opinion that the Grand Lodge of the Ivory Coast meets all the standards of the Commission and is entitled to recognition as a regular Grand Lodge." The Committee therefore recommends that the Grand Lodge of Missouri recognize the Grand Lodge of the Ivory Coast and exchange representatives with this Grand Lodge. Fraternally submitted, BRUCE H.

Your Speakers Committee is charged with providing support to Subordinate Lodges by providing programs and speakers when requested. We have recruited speakers from across the State, whose goal is to provide a strong program where requested by knowledgeable, dynamic speakers. During the year, we have fulfilled more than fifty (50) engagements to Lodges, Masonic clubs, and Non Masonic organizations. Our plan for the future is to develop a capable corps of speakers whose function is to support the Grand Masters programs, assist appropriate Grand Lodge Committees such as Masonic Education and Public Relations, and continue programs for lodges and other organizations when invited.

Grand Master Warden stated that the Reports of the Grand Auditor, President of the Scholarship Corporation, Grand Treasurer, Grand Lecturer and Grand Secretary were pre-printed in the Booklet distributed on Monday, September 24, 1990.

REPORT OF THE AUDITOR To the Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. ofMissouri: We have audited the accompanying Balance Sheet of the Grand Lodge at October 14, 1989 and the related statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Fund Balances for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Grand Lodge officers. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these statements based upon our audit. We are conducting our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. As discussed in Note 1, to the financial statements, a provision for depreciation is not provided in the accounts of the Grand Lodge. Purchases of capital equipment including the Grand Lodge building has been charged to expense when acquired. In our opinion, except for the effects of unrecorded depreciation as discussed in the preceding paragraph, the financial statements referred to in the first paragraph present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Grand Lodge at October 14, 1989 and the results of its operations for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

REPORT OF THE GRAND LECTURER To The Grand Lodge AR & AM. ofMissouri: BRETHREN:
Herewith is submitted my 18th Annual Report as required by the constitution and by-laws of the Grand Lodge. It has been my pleasure once again to enjoy a trouble. free year of travel throughout this grand jurisdiction and to once again visit officially each district in our great state of Missouri, some once, others two or three times, as the need seemed to warrant. As has been my practice in the past several years, I have held joint schools in 18 areas, including from two to as many as four districts as the travel would allow. These schools were not as well attended this year as in past years and perhaps the time has come to limit these schools to a smaller number, unless the Masonic Education
1990
GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI

Committee should again include as a requirement, attendance at one of the schools held by the Grand Lecturer by four of the five top line officers. It is the opinion of the ritualists of this grand jurisdiction that that requirement should be reinstated. As I have reviewed the reports of the District Deputy Grand Lecturers, it is by a majority statement that they need to have such a requirement for them to see an increase of proficiency among the officers of the Lodges in their districts. The ritual of the Lodges varies between good and fair through all parts of the state. I'm sure the ritual, in general, could be improved if the District Deputy Grand Masters would require that all Lodges within their districts request that a school of instruction be held in their Lodges for the purpose of perfecting the opening and closing of the Lodge. Each Lodge could improve their work by an occasional review on balloting, examination of a candidate or one of the obligations on a regular meeting night when there was little or no work before the Lodge. It would help maintain their proficiency as well as giving the newer members or younger officers opportunity to hear again some of those things they may have forgotten. I do want to remind you, my brethren, again this year of how important it is that we apply ourselves to the work of learning a lecture or charge. When you do so you are setting in motion good learning habits, enlarging your vocabulary, expanding horizons of contemplation and thought, adapting concepts set forth in these beautiful lectures to situations which are thrust upon you in the profane world. Not only are you improving the level of proficiency in your Lodge, or making a favorable impression upon a candidate or a new brother, but that which is committed to memory becomes a part of you. I would challenge again every Worshipful Master who at this time has to go outside of his own Lodge to find someone to perform any of the degree work or lectures to challenge someone in his own Lodge to memorize that work needed and thereby improve the standard of performance of his Lodge. 'Working Masons" stimulate interest of men outside the Lodge and renews enthusiasm of those within. I appreciate the many invitations extended to me and regret that I was unable to accept a number of them; however, I do feel that my responsibility to the Grand Lodge and the subordinate Lodges is in teaching of the ritual and I do not feel I should cancel a school in order to attend those special occasions when my schedule is made more than three months in advance. My thanks for those invitations and perhaps I will be able to attend some of them in the future. Schools for the District Deputy Grand Lecturers were changed this year from Sunday to Saturday and because some adjustments among the brethren had to be made, were not as well attended as some previous years; but it is my belief that numbers will increase as schedules are adjusted. These schools held quarterly in five different areas of the state serve a necessary function in maintaining an excellent level of proficiency among those District Deputy Grand Lecturers who have continued to support this effort. I want to thank those Lodges who have been so good to us in the ritual to allow us to use their Lodges for our schools of instruction. Those Lodges are Sedalia, Cameron, Chillicothe, Poplar Bluff, Sikeston, Gate of the Temple, United and Solomon, all of Springfield, Monroe City,

St. Charles, Mexico, Rising Sun, Kansas City and Washington. 1b the District Deputy Grand Lecturers, I am deeply grateful for that vital bond of communication and good will which you help maintain by your hard work and dedication on behalf of the Grand Lodge. That dedication is spelled out in thousands of miles of travel and untold amounts of time and money with no thought of receiving anything other than a "thank you," from a brother and the personal fulfillment when your duties have been properly discharged. Without you, I would be unable to carry on the work entrusted to me as your Grand Lecturer. 1b the District Deputy Grand Masters, my thanks to you for the support that you give to me and to your counter parts in your districts, the District Deputy Grand Lecturers; for those many times that I have asked you for assistance in your districts and not one of you has failed to give me your help. You are a great group of fellows and I appreciate so very much your support of us. 1b the Grand Lodge officers I am most thankful for your many acts of kindness towards me; for your support of the ritual and ritualistic matters in our grand jurisdiction. The brethren of our Lodges can only know in part of the many hours you give to them and to the Grand Lodge. We owe to you much thanks. Because of our declining numbers less stringent requirements for membership have been suggested. If freemasonry is going to be something other than just another social do-good organization, then distinctives which have been taught to Freemasons for over two hundred and fifty years must remain at the top of our list of requirements and living by the principles of brotherly love, relief and truth will help to carry us through our present crisis and Freemasons will not have to worry about our future. To the Great Architect of the universe, I give thanks for His watch care over me and all of us for another year. For the fourth consecutive year we held a statewide round robin in seven areas of the state. We enjoyed the opportunity to see and watch the brethren in those areas battle over the top spot. The winners were as follows: Springfield, Gary Page; Chillicothe, Mike Armstrong; Kansas City, East Gate Lodge, Charles C. Smith; California, John Overbey; Washington, John Chipman; Monroe City, Robert Plummer; Sikeston, Charles Benidict. All of these brethren came to Columbia at the Grand Lodge office building on May 5, and there competed for the top spot in the state of Missouri for the year 1990. The one who kept his concentration to the last and the declared winner was Worshipful Brother Gary C. Page, Past Master of Bolivar Lodge Number 195 at Bolivar, Missouri. Thank you, my brethren, for your support of me and my office of Grand Lecturer. May He who watches over us all continue to smile upon us with favor. God bless you all ... Fraternally Yours, STANTON

Supplement To Grand Lecturers Report To tlu! Grand Lodge AR & AM. ofMissouri: BRETHREN:
Since my report was made I have had the opportunity to attend a special meeting with the Fifteenth Masonic District as they performed a third degree, Missouri style, in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa. The occasion was in conjunction with Old Thresher's Day, a traditional celebration in that small Iowa town. Last year the District Deputy Grand Lecturer from the Fifteenth Masonic District of Missouri, R.~ Brother Willard D. Hetzler, was in attendance at an occasion where he was asked if his district would like to perform a third degree, Missouri fashion, in Iowa. After consultation with the brethren of his district, it was decided to accept the invitation. The members of several lodges in the Fifteenth Masonic District put together a group of young and old who would commit one or two nights a week to practice. The brethren were faithful to their agreement and on August 29th of this year, made a trip to Mt. Pleasant, and at 8:00 p.m. after the local lodge opened on the third degree, the brethren from the Fifteenth District of Missouri took their places and conferred an almost perfect degree on a proficient fellowcraft from Missouri. Those Iowa dignitaries present were the Grand Master, Deputy Grand Master, Grand Treasurer, Deputy Grand Secretary, Senior Grand Steward, Senior Grand Marshal, all A.F. & A.M. The Grand Commander and Grand Prelate of the Grand Commandery of Iowa were also present. My statement to you, my brethren, is that those occasions where the unusual takes place has a tendency to create a positive response and there were present from six states, and forty-five lodges, one hundred and fifty masons who enjoyed a very beautiful degree. The brethren who witnessed the degree were impressed and the Grand Master of Iowa was very complimentary of our brethren. Much credit must be given to the two district deputies of the Fifteenth Masonic District for their willingness to give their time and experience to the younger members of their district and for exposing them to this valuable experience. As we left the lodge room after the degree was completed the question was posed to the members of the Fifteenth District if they would be willing to travel to Dlinois to confer a third degree in that jurisdiction. The response was very positive. Fraternally submitted, STANTON T. BROWN

Section 3.100 of the By-Laws requires that this report shall include the itemized balance of the General Fund, if any, and the source and amount of income received in the preceding fiscal year which was available for the operation of the Grand Lodge. Those figures are in the Annual Auditor's Report, which is available from the Grand Secretary or members of this committee. The sources of income available for the operation of the Grand Lodge are the interest from investments and a portion of the per capita tax. The per capita tax is calculated by subtracting the Masonic Home per capita tax from the total per capita tax received as reported on the audit report. The estimated revenue for the ensuing year, from those sources, is approximately $509,500.00. Additional income from late fees will be approximately $2,000.00. An additional $57,850.00 will be drawn from the General Fund for a balance of $569,350.00. Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM J. HILL W. MARION LUNA RAy HILTON PAUL

REPORT OF THE JURISPRUDENCE COMMITTEE To the Grand Lodge A.R & A.M. ofMissouri
BRETHREN: Your Committee on Jurisprudence respectfully reports as follows: DISPENSATIONS We have examined the dispensations issued by order of the Grand Master as set forth in the report of the Grand Secretary and we approve the same as within the discretion of the Grand Master. CONSENTS AND PERMISSIONS We have examined the consents and permissions pertaining to the activities and operations of subordinate lodges granted by the Grand Master as set forth in the Report of the Grand Secretary and we approve the same as within the discretion of the Grand Master. DECISIONS
162
PROCEEDINGS OF THE
1990
On a request from Buckner Lodge regarding the receipt offunds donated to the lodge from a civic organization's regularly-scheduled poker tournament, the Grand Master ruled that too much "linkage" existed between the source of the donated funds -- a card game or "gambling" -- and the Fraternity, and that such an arrangement would tend to impair the good name of the Order, cause scandal and degrade Freemasonry in the public estimation. The Jurisprudence Committee approved this decision, as it is within the Grand Master's authority to prohibit bingo or other games of chance for anything of value, which degrades Freemasonry. The Jurisprudence Committee recommends that this decision be approved. In response to a request to use discretionary powers of the Grand Master to expedite reinstatement of a suspended brother, the Grand Master ruled that Section 7.250 of the by-laws provided the only prescription for reinstatement, namely referral to the Committee on Appeals and Grievances and favorable action by Grand Lodge. The Jurisprudence Committee approves this decision. In regard to a request to restore two months and 18 days of membersm p that were stricken from a brother's record by the apparent action of the Grand Lodge in Michigan, the Grand Master advised that the Grand Master of Missouri had no authority to accommodate the request because the error occurred outside this jurisdiction during the time of demit from a Michigan lodge to a Missouri lodge. Had a certificate of good standing been sent rather than a demit, the time-loss would have been prevented. The Jurisprudence Committee approves this decision. The Grand Master ruled that it was lawful, as per Section 25.080, for the Master of Country Club Lodge to distribute a membership list, or directory, to the lodge members, with the admonition that it not be used for any non-Masonic purpose. The Jurisprudence Committee approves this decision. M.W. Brother Walker moved that this portion of the Committee's Report be approved and printed in the PROCEEDINGS. The motion was seconded and by vote of the Grand Lodge this portion of the Report was APPROVED. EDICTS M.W. Walker stated that the Grand Lodge was the supreme Masonic authority in Missouri and may change our By-Laws and any ritual without causing any person to violate any of his obligations. By Grand Lodge. Law Edicts of the Grand Master become law immediately and !emains the law until the next Grand Lodge session. The Grand Lodge votes - an affirmative vote makes the Edict Law - a negative vote restores the old law. The Grand Master issued the following Edict: (1) The Flag of the United States of America will be displayed in the East of every Stated and Special Communication of every regular Lodge in the State of Missouri; (2) In the ceremony of Opening the Lodge in the First Degree -- that all brethren may participate -- after the singing of the Opening Ode, the Mas-

ter will lead the Officers and Brethren in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, saying, "Brethren, join me in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of our country." The Grand Master delivered a copy of this Edict to the Chairman of the Committee on Jurisprudence as soon as possible after its issuance as provided in Section 2.101(j). The Jurisprudence Committee approved the Edict. M.W. Walker moved that this Edict be adopted by this Grand Lodge. The motion was seconded. R.W. Wayne H. Branson offered an amendment to the Edict. R.W. Branson moved that the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag become a part of the Ritual and that the Ritual Committee be given the task of determining the addition of the Pledge at the proper place in our Ritual. The motion to amend was seconded. By vote of the Grand Lodge the amendment was ACCEPrED. The original motion as amended was presented for Grand Lodge action. By vote of the Grand Lodge the original motion as awarded was ACCEPl'ED. The Grand MAster issued the following Edict: It is not permissible to use a code in a tiled lodge: such use is a Masonic offense. Use of the code "King Solomon and Hi,s Followers" (Missouri edition) is permissible for purposes of instruction and practice. The corrected edition when available shall be available for sale through the Grand Secretary's Office. The Grand Master delivered a copy of this Edict to the Chairman of the Committee on Jurisprudence as soon as possible after its issuance as provided in Section 2.010(j). The Jurisprudence Committee approved the Edict. M.W. Walker moved that this Edict be adopted by this Grand Lodge. The motion was seconded and by vote of the Grand Lodge ACCEPTED. PROPOSED AMENDMENTS PROPOSAL TO ADD SECTION 5.125 TO THE GRAND LODGE BY-LAWS SECTION 5.125 RITUAL MANUAL. The Committee on Ritual shall cause a coded manual, covering the work and lectures of the three degrees of Ancient Craft Masonry, to be prepared for printing. The Grand Secretary will order the manual printed, and will furnish it for purchase on request, to the Subordinate Lodge Secretaries for distribution to interested members and Degree candidates. STATEMENT QE PURPOSE: Although the assistance of a proficient instructor-coach will continue to be necessary, a coded manual will allow an interested Mason to study and learn at times when it is not convenient, or possible, to be with his instructor. M.W. Walker reported that this proposed amendment had been with-
164
PROCEEDINGS OF THE

drawn by the proponents. PROPOSAL TO AMEND SECTION 7.060. STATED COMMUNICATIONS. The amended Section to read as follows: "SECTION 7.060. STATED COMMUNICATIONS. Stated Communications are held at the times fixed by the by-laws, not less frequently than once in each calendar month. Provision for Stated Communications in July and August is not required. ALL business may be transacted at Stated Communications. ALL business not permitted to be transacted at special communications is transacted at Stated Communications, and while the Lodge is at labor on the FIRST DEGREE after opening and closing on the Second and Third Degree." STATEMENT QE PURPOSE: To allow Entered Apprentices and Fellow Crafts to participate in the transaction of business of the Lodge. M.W. Walker stated that "the Jurisprudence Committee approved this proposed amendment as to form and in order to bring this before the Grand Lodge I moved that this amendment be adopted." The motion was seconded. A motion to amend the proposal was made from the floor, seconded and by vote of the Grand Lodge DEFEATED. By vote of the Grand Lodge the original proposal was DEFEATED. PROPOSAL TO AMEND SECTION 7.140 OF THE BY-LAWS: It is proposed that Section 7.140 of the By-Laws of the Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons be changed to read as follows: "SECTION 7.140. NOTICE TO MEMBERS. In all cases where notice to members is required and is not otherwise provided for, the Secretary m&l ~ ill yerban~ mlw: in ~ Q.I: bx telephone路 (2} bx ~ in B ~ newspaper- or (3) at least one week before the date on which action may be taken, hx sending each member, at his address according to the Secretary's records, by prepaid United States mail, a notice stating the proposition and when it is to be considered. The minutes shall recite that proper notice was given." (Parts underlined are the changes) STATEMENT QE PURPOSE路 The purpose of this amendment is to allow for notifying some (or all) resident members, either in person, by phone, or newspaper notice rather than requiring that ALL resident members be notified by the expensive process of the U.S. mail. M.W. Walker stated "the Jurisprudence Committee opposed this proposed amendment but in order to bring this before the Grand Lodge I move that this amendment be adopted. The motion was seconded. At this
1990

165
time the proponents asked that the amendment be withdrawn. There being no objections the amendment was WITHDRAWN. PROPOSED ADDITIONS TO ARTICLE 22 M.W. Walker stated that the following two amendments must be considered together; that is if one fails they both should fail or if one passes they both should pass. PROPOSAL TO ADD SECTION 22.110. TRANSFER. "An Endowment fund member may transfer his endowment to another constituent Lodge of this Grand Lodge Jurisdiction in the manner provided in the Constitution and By-Laws, upon such transfer of membership, the Lodge to which the member has transferred. Also, when two or more Lodges consolidate any endowed membership held by either or such Lodges shall become the property of the surviving Lodge. Upon the dissolution or demise of an endowed Lodge, the holder of an endowed Lodge membership, if living, may transfer the endowed membership to the Missouri Lodge with which he affiliates. PROPOSAL TO ADD SECTION 22.120. ENDORSEMENT. Any demit or Certificate of Good Standing issued to a member shall have been endorsed to the fact that the member is an endowment fund member and the amount of the fund may be transferred to any constituent Lodge with which he affiliated." M.W. Walker stated that "the Jurisprudence Committee approved these amendments as to form and in order to bring it to a vote I move that it be adopted." The motion was seconded and by vote of the Grand Lodge the amendment was ACCEPTED. PROPOSAL TO AMEND SECTION 23.040 OF THE BY-LAWS SECTION 23.040. MASONIC HOME BOARD The Board of Directors of the Masonic Home of Missouri consists of the Grand Master, the Deputy Grand Master, the Senior Grand Warden, the Junior Grand Warden, and the Senior Grand Deacon, together with eight Master Masons, members in good standing of Missouri lodges who are elected by the Grand Lodge for terms of four years, with the terms of two members expiring each year. The Grand Master is honorary chairman of the Board. Elective directors may succeed themselves for one term. No ex officio director may be elected to the Board until the annual communication following expiration of his term. Any elected or ex officio member of the Board may serve as President. In the event no member of the Board is elected President, the Senior Grand Warden shall be elected President. (Rest would remain unchanged.) STATEMENT Q[ PURPOSE: 1. The duties of the President of the Masonic Home Board have grown to a point that it is difficult for the Deputy Grand Master to adequately serve in that capacity and devote the significant time required to plan for
166
PROCEEDINGS OF THE
1990
his year as Grand Master. 2. With the increasing changes and regulations in the health field, it is becoming increasingly important for the Board to have the most qualified and able Master Masons serving in the leadership capacity. These changes above will: a. Allow for additional continuity and provide an opportunity for elected members with significant experience on the Masonic Home Board by allowing for an additional four year term. b. Allow for any member of the Board to serve as President, thereby providing an opportunity for the most qualified to fill that office. M.W. Walker stated that this proposed amendment had been withdrawn by the proponents. SECTION 10.040. GRAND LODGE DUES. Each lodge pays eight dollars and fifty cents ($8.50) to the Grand Lodge for each Master Mason (except those whose dues have been remitted and those exempted under Section (a) of Section 18.050) reported in the annual return, which dues include a subscription to The Freemason magazine. The Grand Lodge, promptly as collected, pays two dollars and fifty cents ($2.50) for each Master Mason to the Masonic Home of Missouri. M.W. Walker stated that the Jurisprudence Committee recommended and eh so moved that this amendment be tabled for possible action at the 170 Annual Communication. The motion was seconded and by vote of the Grand Lodge TABLED.

MASONIC RELIEF In any Grand Lodge year up to $2,000.00 may be expended for relief or distressed Worthy Masons and lodges not otherwise qualifying under the guidelines of the Relief and Charity Committee, on order of the Grand Master, the Senior Grand Warden, and the Junior Grand Warden, or any two of them.

Fraternally submitted, CHARLES E. BECRAIT, P.M. St. Joseph Lodge No. 78 LAWRENCE N. WEENlCK, P.M. Clayton Lodge No. 601 PROPOSITION TO REPEAL OR DELETE SECTION 21.011 AND 21.021 OF ARTICLE 21:
172
PROCEEDINGS OF THE
1990
REASON FOR PROPOSITION: Lodges outside of the 'Jerritorial Jurisdiction of a Lodge may not be capable or willing to make the proper investigation into the eligibility, CHARACTER, and fitness of an applicant. It is already known that two thieves and an adulterer have been accepted, and one wife beater received a favorable report and would have been accepted if it had not been for the action ofa member of the 'Jerritorial Jurisdiction to which he lived. It is our belief that it is better to lose several good applicants than to accept one bad one. It is also believed that the infringement into the 'Jerritorial Jurisdiction of a Lodge is no more acceptable than the infringement by another Grand Lodge into the Jurisdiction of our Grand Lodge. WILLIAM E. BRENNEMAN, P.M. Laclede Lodge No. 83 DELBERT L. CHOATE, W.M. Waynesville Lodge No. 375 FRED A. McMILLAN, P.M. Waynesville Lodge No. 375 Lou A. SHORT, W.M. Richland Lodge No. 385 PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLE 35: RESOLVED That Sections 35.010, 35.020, and 35.030 of the Grand Lodge By-Laws be repealed and that the following language be substituted in lieu thereof: SECTION 35.010. PROPOSED ADDITION, REPEAL, AMENDMENT OR REVISION. Subject to the requirements of Section 35.020, at any annual communication these by-laws may be added to, repealed, amended or revised by proposals in writing. Each proposal must be accompanied by a brief written statement as to the purpose thereof. SECTION 34.020. TIME, PRESENTATION, AND PUBLICATION A proposed addition, repeal, amendment or revision of these by-laws may not be adopted unless it has been first delivered to the Grand Secretary, in writing and in the form proposed, at least 180 days before the annual communication at which it is to be submitted. The Grand Secretary shall mail to the subordinate lodges, no later than 120 days prior to the annual communication, a copy of all proposed additions, repeals, amendments and revisions. Prior to publication, the Committee on Jurisprudence shall review any proposed addition, repeal, amendment or revision as to form and may propose alternative language, in lieu thereof, if the proposed alternative language does not alter the substance of the original proposal. If multiple proposals shall be submitted as to the same subject matter, only one such proposal shall be acted upon if such limitation is recommended by the Committee on Jurisprudence and approved by the Grand Master. Any such decision shall be noted upon the publication of such proposal. Only the proposal to be acted upon shall be included in the publication. Within the period of 180 days prior to any annual communication no proposed addition, repeal, amendment or revision to the by-laws
1990

may be submitted unless it shall be authorized by the Grand Master as a matter of an emergency nature. Any such proposal referred to in the preceding sentence shall be presented the first day of the annual communication, read, referred to the Committee on Jurisprudence, reread on the second day and then acted upon.
SECTION 35.030. ACTION ON PROPOSALS All proposals for changes in these by-laws are adopted or rejected, in whole or in part, by a majority vote. PURPOSE: These changes are designed to eliminate the need for a one year layover of proposals for changes to Grand Lodge by-laws. The amendments also provide for distribution of proposals in writing prior to the annual communication to allow for review and discussion by th~ subordinate lodges. No change would be made in Sections 35.025 or 35.040. Respectfully submitted, DANIEL F. COLE, ~M. Jefferson Lodge No. 43 GoRDON E. HOPKINS, ~M. Charity Lodge No. 331 DALE C. MOTTER, ~M.

PROPOSAL TO AMEND SECTION 7.200 OF THE GRAND LODGE BY-LAWS Amend Section 7.200 of the Grand Lodge By-Laws to read:
SECTION 7.200. CONSOLIDATION OF LODGES. Two or more lodges may consolidate under the name of any of the former lodges, or all or part of the names of more than one of the former lodges, or a name under which the Grand Lodge of Missouri has never previously issued a charger. The consolidated lodge may bear the number of anyone of the former lodges, or a new number never previously issued by the Grand Lodge of Missouri. Notice is given all members of each lodge. A two-thirds vote of those present and eligible to vote, with less than twenty negative votes, is required in each lodge. The vote shall be by paper ballot. The charters of all former lodges are forwarded to the Grand Secretary and cancelled. If the charter of one of the former lodges bears the name and number chosen for the consolidated lodge, then that charter is not forwarded to the Grand Secretary and becomes the charter of the consolidated lodge. Otherwise, the Grand Secretary issues a new charter under the name selected and bearing the number of one of the former lodges or a new number. The members of the former lodges become members of the consolidated lodge with whatever standing they had in their former lodges. The consolidated lodge receives all the assets, including dues receivable, and assumes all the liabilities of the former lodge or lodges. PURPOSE: 1b allow lodges wishing to consolidate more flexibility in selecting the name and number the consolidated lodge will bear.

WHEN CERTIFICATES CEASE TO BE VALID No Certificate of Good Standing issued under Section 20.030 remains valid past December 31 of the year in which it is issued. STATEMENT QE PURPOSE: This amendment clarifies the validity of Certificates of Good Standing issued under Section 20.030. The present Section causes confusion; does the ninety days continue until the Certificate is presented to the Lodge Secretary or the Secretary presents it to the Lodge?

PROPOSAL TO AMEND SECTION 20.060 OF THE BY-LAWS SECTION 20.060. DATE OF MEMBERSHIP A Petitioner elected on a Certificate of Good Standing becomes a member of the Lodge electing him on the date of the election. The Certificate of Good Standing becomes the Dimit on the date of election, automatically. If the Petitioner is rejected, he retains membership in his original Lodge. STATEMENT QE PURPOSE; The proposed amendment to Section 20.060 sets the date of membership on the date of election rather than on the date of the issuance of a Dimit by the member's original Lodge.

The dues from members transferred on a Certificate of Good Standing shall be divided as follows; (a) The amount due Grand Lodge for its' per capita on June 30, is paid to or retained by the Lodge which reports the member to the Grand Lodge in its' Annual Return for that year. (b) The balance of the dues are divided pro rata by months, between the Lodges, and the Lodge collecting the dues is responsible to the other Lodge for the respedive amounts above mentioned. The Lodge from which the member transfers is entitled to dues for the month in which the election occurs. STATEMENT QE PURPOSE; The proposed amendment to Section 20.070 (b) changes the date of the proration of the dues from the issuance of the Dimit to the date of the election. Section 20.070 (a) remains unchanged. Fraternally submitted, THoMAS C. WARDEN, P.M. Owensville Lodge No. 624 TERRY C. ALEXANDER, P.M. Seaman Lodge No. 126 JAMES H. COBBAN, P.M.

PROPOSAL TO AMEND SECTION 18.010. DUES The amended Section to read as follows: SECTION 18.010. DUES. Dues are payable annually and in advance, on January 1 of each year. They are charged from the date of membership as an Entered Apprentice, prorated by months, a fraction of a month being taken as a whole month. No dues are charged for any full year commencing after suspension unless good standing is regained during the year." STATEMENT QE PURPOSE路 To allow Entered Apprentices and Fellow Crafts to participate with their dues in the financial support of the Fraternity. Fraternally submitted, RICHARD M. BLOWERS, P.M. Freedom Lodge No. 636 L. WAYNE HILL, P.M. Twilight Lodge No. 114 ROGER G. HUFFMASTER, D.D.G.L.-A. Ferguson Lodge 542 PROPOSAL TO CHANGE THE BY-LAW TO REQUIRE NO MORE THAN THREE REJECTING VOTES FOR ELECTION FOR THE DEGREES SECTION 13.070 SHOULD READ: BALLOT REQUIRED. (a) A ballot containing no more than three rejecting votes (or black cubes) is required for election to the degrees and for affiliation when a demit accompanies the petition for affiliation. SECTION 14.050 SHOULD READ: BALLOT, COLLECTIVE. The lodge may ballot on any number ofpetitions for the degrees collectively or for affiliation collectively in accordance with Section 13.070. If three or more black cubes appear on the ballot for degrees, then in whichever ballot the black cubes appear, the petitions may be balloted on in groups of five or less; but when three or more black cubes appear in any group, then none of the preceding ballots in that group may be counted, and the petitions in that group must be balloted on separately. If, on the collective ballot for affiliation (when accompanied by a letter of good standing), a two-thirds vote is not obtained, the procedure shall apply as outlined above for degrees. (Amended 1967-142). SECTION 14.090 SHOULD BE DELETED. STATEMENT QE PURPOSE: Too often in balloting for the degrees, good men are rejected because of a private pique or dislike by one member of the lodge. We cannot continue to allow one member to keep good prospects out of the fraternity. And the current practice makes selective solicitation unworkable. The Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons has had the requirement of three "blackballs" to reject for over 70 years, and this system has worked out very well. The slight relaxation of the overly-stringent requirement of unanimity will leave adequate protection for our portals.

Purity Lodge No. 658 PROPOSED BY-LAW When a Petition for Affiliation presented to any subordinate lodge is accompanied by a Dimit without Privileges, the Committee of Investigation appointed to search for information as to the petitioner's fitness and eligibility to become a member of the lodge petitioned must communicate with the lodge which issued the Dimit to ascertain whether reprehensible or un-Masonic conduct may have been a factor in the issuance of such a Dimit. It shall be the duty of the secretary of the lodge petitioned to inform the Committee of Investigation as to the nature of the Dimit and their duty with respect to a Dimit without Privileges. PURPOSE The purpose of this proposed addition to the By-Laws of the Grand Lodge of the State of Missouri is to effect more thorough and careful investigation of petitioners for affiliation and prevent acceptance of petitioners who have been found unworthy of membership in their former lodge and undesirable for Masonic membership.

Pleasant Grove Lodge No. 142 PAUL E. STAHL, EM. Pleasant Grove Lodge No. 142 PROPOSAL TO AMEND SECTION 15.050 OF THE GRAND LODGE BYLAWS That Section 15.050 of the Grand Lodge By-Laws be amended as follows: SECTION 15.050. SUITABLE PROFICIENCY. "Suitable proficiency" means ability satisfactorily to answer the questions in the proficiency lecture of the first section of the degree; except that for all candidates examined between October 15, 1991, and October 15, 1995, inclusive, "suitable proficiency: may, at the option of each subordinate lodge, mean ability satisfactorily to repeat the obligation and answer the questions related to the signs, pass grips, passwords, and words
178
PROCEEDINGS OF THE

of the degree. Any subordinate lodge may exercise the said option pursuant to a majority vote of members present at a stated meeting, if notice of intention to vote on the matter shall have been given to the members in accordance with Section 7.140. Said action shall remain in effecmt until October 15, 1995, unless reversed by vote of the lodge at a stated meeting after like notice of a vote on the issue shall have been given to the members. The subordinate lodge will report its actions on a form provided by the Grand Secretary. Satisfactory examination is determined in open lodge, by majority vote of the lodge by show of hands. PURPOSE: The subordinate lodges are currently experiencing a 1088 of one out of three candidates. Input from these candidates indicates that the major cause is a lack of time to learn the entire proficiency lecture. The proposed change will allow Missouri lodges to examine, on a trial basis, the effects of a shortened proficiency examination. Respectfully submitted, THOMAS C. WARDER, ~M.

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This change will allow any suspended member to reinstate by paying only the current year's dues, and will eliminate the need for the Secretary to maintain a permanent record of the dues charged in the year of suspension.
